Pan Seared Shrimp With Garlic-Lemon Butter
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined (21/25 count)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
Directions
- Beat butter with a fork in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, parsley and 1/8 tsp salt until combined. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbs oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until smoking. Meanwhile toss shrimp, salt, pepper and sugar in a medium bowl. Add half of shrimp to pan in a single layer and cook until spotty brown and edges turn pink, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; using tongs, flip each shrimp and let stand until all but very center is opaque, about 30 seconds. Transfer shrimp to a large plate.
- Repeat with remaining oil and shrimp; after second batch has stood off heat, return first batch to skillet along with flavored butter and toss to combine. Cover skillet and let stand until shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Serves 4 as an entree or 8 as an appetizer.
