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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 small bay leaf
1 1-inch piece dried red chili pepper, seeded
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil in medium skillet over high heat. Add garlic, bay leaf and dried pepper and stir 1 minutes. Add shrimp; stir until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Shrimp: Opt for fresh or frozen shrimp that are deveined and peeled for convenience.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of garlic, olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances their taste.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as they tend to become tough and rubbery. Cook them briefly until they turn opaque and pink.
  • Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic adds a more intense and aromatic flavor compared to garlic powder or minced garlic.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When cooking the shrimp, avoid overcrowding the pan as this can result in uneven cooking.
  • Serve Immediately: Garlic lovers' shrimp is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Serve immediately after cooking to savor the flavors at their peak.
