Photo: Sauteed Shrimp Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Directions
Put the flour on a plate and season with a healthy amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to combine evenly. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour to coat all sides.
Heat the butter and oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat until butter stops foaming and just starts to turn a light brown. Add the shrimp, and give it a toss, saute for 5 minutes until the shrimp is firm and there is a crispy coating on the outside. Remove the shrimp to a side plate and cover to keep warm.
Put the pan back on the heat and add the garlic and shallots. Cook and stir for 1 minute until soft. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, give it a stir and let it cook down for 1 minute to thicken slightly. Put the shrimp back in the pan and coat in the lemon sauce. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Really easy and tasty. I think I had the heat to high cause the shallots and garlic burned quickly, but that actually taisted pretty good. I like this recipe.

I would suggest that you don't put the shrimp back into the "pan" it will get mushy! (HOWEVER The favor is amazing! YUM YUM YUM YUM...just pour it over the shrimps so you can keep the shrimps stay crispy!! At first I thought the sauce was a tad bit "tangy" but WOW once you put the shrimps in they are some kind of good! Next time I will have the sauce going in one pan and the shrimps cooking on another so I can keep everything hot and mix at once ready to serve.

I made this last night and it turned out really good. I love lemon so I didn't mind that it had a strong lemon taste, but if you're not a big lemon fan, I'd suggest cutting down on it. Mine didn't turn out exactly like the picture, the sauce was a little thicker. Maybe I used too much flour. Either way, it tasted great.
