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.

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

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use large shrimp: This will make them easier to sauté and will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many shrimp to the pan, they will steam instead of sautéing and will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of shrimp to cook, cook them in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and garlic: This will give the shrimp the best flavor.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Sautéed shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Sautéed shrimp with lemon garlic butter is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great appetizer or party food. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with lemon juice, garlic, butter, and herbs. The shrimp are tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and creamy.
