Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

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
1 ½ teaspoons cold butter
⅓ cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley, divided
1 ½ tablespoons cold butter
water, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Place shrimp in an even layer on the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 minute without stirring.
  • Season shrimp with salt; cook and stir until shrimp begin to turn pink, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, caper brine, 1 1/2 teaspoon cold butter, and half the parsley.
  • Cook until butter has melted, about 1 minute, then turn heat to low and stir in 1 1/2 tablespoon cold butter. Cook and stir until all butter has melted to form a thick sauce and shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl; continue to cook butter sauce, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time if too thick, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
  • Serve shrimp topped with the pan sauce. Garnish with remaining flat-leaf parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Medium or large shrimp work best for this recipe. Avoid using small shrimp, as they can become overcooked easily.
  • Devein and peel the shrimp: This is an important step to ensure that the shrimp are clean and free of any grit. You can use a sharp knife to devein the shrimp and then remove the shells.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the garlic balsamic mixture helps to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to cook them over high heat for a short amount of time. Overcooking the shrimp will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Garlic balsamic shrimp is best served immediately after cooking. You can serve them over rice, pasta, or salad.

Conclusion:

Garlic balsamic shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
