Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ pounds fresh shrimp, shelled and deveined without tails
½ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, chopped
½ cup fresh parsley, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
2 tablespoons white wine
2 tablespoons brandy

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly. Dredge shrimp in flour mixture.
  • In a large skillet, saute dredged shrimp in olive oil for 5 minutes over high heat. Toss shrimp often to prevent burning. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a serving dish, leaving the oil in the pan.
  • In the same pan, saute the garlic, shallot, parsley and oregano over medium heat for 3 minutes; stirring constantly. Spoon the mixture over the shrimp. Return pan to the heat. Preheat your broiler for medium heat.
  • Pour the wine and brandy into the skillet and ignite with a match or lighter. When the flames die down, stir to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet; pour over shrimp.
  • Place the serving dish of shrimp in a preheated broiler for about 2 minutes.
