PERFECT PAN-SEARED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC BUTTER



Perfect Pan-Seared Shrimp With Garlic Butter image

from America's Test Kitchen TV show. Their note: The cooking times below are for 21/25 shrimp (that is, the size of the shrimp is such that there are 21 to 25 in 1 pound). If 21/25 shrimp are not available, adjust cooking times slightly. Either a nonstick or traditional skillet will work for this recipe, but a nonstick will simplify cleanup.

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/8 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined (21/25 count)
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon granulated sugar
lemon wedge, if desired

Steps:

  • INSTRUCTIONS.
  • Beat butter with fork in small bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until combined. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, toss shrimp, salt, pepper, and sugar in medium bowl. Add half of shrimp to pan in single layer and cook until spotty brown and edges turn pink, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; using tongs, flip each shrimp and let stand until all but very center is opaque, about 30 seconds. Transfer shrimp to large plate. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and shrimp; after second batch has stood off heat, return first batch to skillet along with flavored butter and toss to combine. Cover skillet and let stand until shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use large shrimp for this recipe, as they will hold up better to the heat and won't overcook as easily.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Make sure the pan is very hot before adding the shrimp. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy Garlic Shrimp is delicious, easy to make, and perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. This dish is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. For example, you can add more or less chili pepper, depending on how spicy you like your food. You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers. Spicy Garlic Shrimp is sure to become a favorite in your household!
