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.
  • TIPS: Do not substitute with garlic powder OR dried parsley! Sea salt is stronger than table salt so use less than normal. Table salt can be substituted.
  • 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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. You can also devein the shrimp if you want, but this is optional.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them to prevent them from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Garlic shrimp are best served immediately after they're cooked.
