Categories     30 Minute Meals

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
6-8 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon caper brine
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoon butter, cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and red pepper flakes and allow the spice to infuse into the oil for 30 seconds.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan and spread it out so it cooks evenly. Cook for about 1 minute flipping as needed. Add the garlic, lemon juice, and caper brine to the skillet and let cook for 1 minute.
  • Add 1/2 of the parsley along with the cubes of butter and swirl the pan so butter starts to melt slowly, about 2-3 minutes. As the butter melts it should start forming a thick type of sauce. Add the remaining parsley and stir to combine. The shrimp should be opaque and cooked through. If the sauce starts to thicken too much, you can remove the shrimp to a serving dish and add a teaspoon of water to help thin it out to a pourable consistency. Keep in mind that this recipe creates just enough sauce to coat the shrimp but it is flavorful enough to serve with rice or pasta tossed in olive oil.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup kosher salt
1 gallon cold water
2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp (21 to 30 per pound)
