Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large lemons
2 pounds (8- to 10-count) shrimp, peeled with the tails on
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
4 slices country bread, toasted

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.

Provided by Rhiannon Deux

Categories     European

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs frozen raw shrimp
1/2 lb butter
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375.
  • Run the shrimp under water just until they come apart - no need to thaw completely.
  • In a food processor, combine butter (cut into a few cubes), garlic, salt, parsley, red pepper flakes and the juice of the lemon. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles gravel.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work, but thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it's pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality butter. The butter will add a lot of flavor to the shrimp, so it's important to use a good quality butter.
  • Don't be afraid to add some spice. If you like spicy food, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the shrimp. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after it's cooked. You can serve it over rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Roast lemon butter shrimp is a delicious and easy seafood dish that can be made in just 20 minutes. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with butter, lemon juice, and garlic. It's then roasted in the oven until it's cooked through. The shrimp is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve the shrimp over rice, pasta, or vegetables, and enjoy!
