Categories     30 Minute Meals

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
6-8 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon caper brine
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoon butter, cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and red pepper flakes and allow the spice to infuse into the oil for 30 seconds.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan and spread it out so it cooks evenly. Cook for about 1 minute flipping as needed. Add the garlic, lemon juice, and caper brine to the skillet and let cook for 1 minute.
  • Add 1/2 of the parsley along with the cubes of butter and swirl the pan so butter starts to melt slowly, about 2-3 minutes. As the butter melts it should start forming a thick type of sauce. Add the remaining parsley and stir to combine. The shrimp should be opaque and cooked through. If the sauce starts to thicken too much, you can remove the shrimp to a serving dish and add a teaspoon of water to help thin it out to a pourable consistency. Keep in mind that this recipe creates just enough sauce to coat the shrimp but it is flavorful enough to serve with rice or pasta tossed in olive oil.

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound uncooked large shrimp (peeled and deveined )
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
1 small shallot (minced)
1/2 cup dry white wine (or low-sodium chicken stock or broth)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme (optional but definitely worthwhile!)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
cooked rice, (or pasta, grits, or toasted bread (for serving))

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it melts. Add the shallot and let cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until it just begins to soften. Add the shrimp in a single layer and let cook undisturbed for 1 minute. With tongs or a wide spatula, turn over the shrimp.
  • Add the wine and garlic. Cook until the shrimp are no longer translucent and the wine has reduced by half, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Zest the lemon directly over the skillet, then cut the lemon in half. Juice half of the lemon over the top and slice the other half into wedges for serving. Add the rosemary and parsley, then toss to combine. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
