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

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Opt for fresh, medium-sized shrimp with a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are overly large or have a slimy texture.
  • Prep your shrimp properly: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for a more elegant presentation. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of citrus juices, garlic, herbs, and spices enhances their flavor and tenderness. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the shrimp at high heat: Whether you're grilling, pan-frying, or sautéing the shrimp, use high heat to quickly cook them and prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, avoid overcrowding the pan or grill to ensure even cooking. Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the shrimp with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:
