Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt to taste
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon caper brine
1 ½ teaspoons cold butter
⅓ cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley, divided
1 ½ tablespoons cold butter
water, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Place shrimp in an even layer on the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 minute without stirring.
  • Season shrimp with salt; cook and stir until shrimp begin to turn pink, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, caper brine, 1 1/2 teaspoon cold butter, and half the parsley.
  • Cook until butter has melted, about 1 minute, then turn heat to low and stir in 1 1/2 tablespoon cold butter. Cook and stir until all butter has melted to form a thick sauce and shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl; continue to cook butter sauce, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time if too thick, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
  • Serve shrimp topped with the pan sauce. Garnish with remaining flat-leaf parsley.

DRAGON SHRIMP



Dragon Shrimp image

This one is a 'fire-breather' for sure.... Proceed at your own risk. lol I serve it Cajun-style, with newspaper on the table instead of a cloth. Everybody just tosses the shells in the middle. When dinner is over, you wad it up and throw it all in the garbage. Just add plenty of cold beer and iced tea and plenty of hot French bread -- oh, and plenty of napkins!!
