Appetizer Essentials Pan Fried Garlic Shrimp Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in remaining 6 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until melted and smooth. Stir in shrimp and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley leaves, if desired.

APPETIZER ESSENTIALS: PAN-FRIED GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. My favorite pan to use for this recipe is a small-size cast-iron pan; however, you can use any pan, big or small.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Place the shrimp in a small bowl, and toss with the salt, and paprika. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
• 5. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to cover the bottom of your pan, and add the garlic.
• 6. Adjust the heat to medium-low, and allow the garlic to baste in the warming olive oil.
• 7. After 2 - 3 minutes toss in the red-pepper flakes, and stir to combine.
• 8. When the garlic begins to sizzle (about 10 minutes), add the shrimp in a single layer.
• 9. When they begin to turn pink (about 2 - 3 minutes), flip and cook for an additional minute.
• 10. Chef's Note: If you are using the sherry, add it as soon as you flip the shrimp over.
• 11. Remove the pan from the heat, and allow the shrimp to finish cooking in the warm oil, another minute or so.
• 12. PLATE/PRESENT
• 13. Serve while still nice and warm, with some crusty bread, for dipping into the wonderful garlic-infused olive oil. Enjoy.
• 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
