GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

Steps:
- Remove the dark intestinal veins from the shrimp. As you do, make each cut deep enough to butterfly the shrimp, so each can be opened flat like a book. Fill a bowl with ice water, add the sea salt and the butterflied shrimp, and let stand for 15 minutes to bring out some of the briny flavor of the shellfish. (Removing their shells robs the shrimp of some of their natural flavor.) Drain and dry thoroughly with a cotton kitchen towel.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and hot pepper and sauté gently until the garlic softens but is not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, placing them opened flat on the bottom of the pan so they do not curl too much. Sauté, turning once, until they are opaque, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the wine, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds to allow alcohol to evaporate. Remove and discard the whole peppers, if using. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a sweet, briny flavor and a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a strong odor.
- Clean the shrimp properly. Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. You can also devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp and removing the dark vein.
- Season the shrimp simply. Garlic, salt, and pepper are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the shrimp. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as paprika, chili powder, or oregano.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp only take a few minutes to cook. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served hot off the pan. You can garnish the shrimp with fresh parsley, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.
