Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons good olive oil
1 cup chopped fennel bulb, fronds reserved
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound (16- to 20-count) shrimp, peeled with tails on
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon Pernod (optional)
1 teaspoon fleur de sel
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
French bread for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the fennel and saute for 5 minutes, until tender but not browned. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook at a very low sizzle for 2 to 3 minutes, until the garlic just begins to color.
  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, add them to the pan, and toss together with the fennel and olive oil. Spread the shrimp in one layer and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes on one side. Turn the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on the other side, until they¿re pink and just cooked through.
  • Off the heat, sprinkle with the parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fennel fronds, the Pernod (if using), the fleur de sel, and black pepper and serve it with bread to soak up all the pan juices.

Ready in 10 minutes, this Mark Bittman recipe from 2013 is a perfect weeknight recipe. It relies heavily on garlic, oregano and black pepper as a coating for the shrimp. Serve alongside a hearty salad or with a stack of flatbread for an easy meal. In his original piece, a roundup of shrimp recipes, he suggested wild shrimp from the Pacific or Gulf of Mexico, or fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas, if they're available to you. All, he wrote, are "preferable from a sustainability perspective."

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much shrimp to the pan, they will not cook evenly and will become tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Add the tomatoes, fennel, and oregano towards the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
