Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

25 -30 large shrimp, raw and peeled (or jumbo)
3 tablespoons chopped garlic, fresh (see tip) or 3 tablespoons from a jars (see tip)
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
fresh ground sea salt, to taste (see tip)
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a large Ziplock freezer bag, mix everything except the butter and swish it around good to coat all of the shrimp. Or, mix everything in a large bowl and cover TIGHTLY with Saran wrap.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat large heavy bottom pan with the butter in it on medium. Toss shrimp around for about 10 minutes until pink and lightly browned.

  • Serve with steak or pasta with a white sauce.
  • I KNOW THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE, BUT I MADE IT THIS WAY TONIGHT AND IT WAS SO UNBELIEVABLE THAT I HAD TO POST IT! EVEN BETTER THAN MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE!

SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP



Spicy Garlic Shrimp image

This is my favorite shrimp recipe that my family makes, and I think it may have originally been from Rachael Ray. You can have it over noodles, over rice or as a side dish to a steak. I usually cook it in a pan, but you can also put it on skewers and grill it. It's just a really good way to have shrimp!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you can, buy shrimp that are still in the shell. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp are very easy to overcook, so it's important to cook them carefully. The best way to cook shrimp is to sauté them in a little bit of oil or butter over medium heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Season the shrimp well. Shrimp have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking shrimp, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Shrimp are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're sautéing them, grilling them, or baking them, there's sure to be a shrimp recipe that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these shrimp recipes a try.
