CREAMY DREAMY SHRIMP SAUTE



Creamy Dreamy Shrimp Saute image

I've made this a few times now and it's always quick and surprisingly satisfying for a reduced-fat entree. I keep frozen cooked shrimp on hand as a staple for a last-minute but gourmet dinner. They defrost in a matter of minutes, so I don't take them out of my freezer until I'm ready to start cooking. I put the shrimp in a colander, run tepid water over them for a minute or so, and after they sit about five minutes, I can pull the tail shell off, and they're ready to heat up! Serve over pasta or rice.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp. Alternatively, if using raw shrimp, make sure to devein and clean them properly before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with shrimp. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Sear the shrimp in hot oil until they turn pink and opaque. This will help lock in their flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough and rubbery. A good rule of thumb is to cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
  • Use a flavorful sauce or marinade to add extra flavor to the shrimp. Some popular options include garlic butter, lemon butter, and scampi sauce.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
