GREMOLATA SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. Peel the zest off the lemon with a potato peeler. Pile the pieces up a few at a time and cut them across into short, thin strips.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the shrimp and toss them over a high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, seasoning them with some cayenne pepper or black pepper and sea salt as you do so.
