Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) red pepper flakes
- 1 pound (454 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6-8 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) caper brine
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped parsley
- 3 tablespoon (45 ml) beef butter, cut into cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- WARM: Place a large frying pan on high heat. Pour in the olive oil and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, letting the oil absorb the spice for half a minute.
- COOK SHRIMP: Introduce the shrimp to the pan, spreading them out for even cooking. Sauté for approximately 60 seconds, flipping if necessary. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and caper brine, allowing them to cook together for another minute.
- ADD FLAVOR: Sprinkle half of the chopped parsley and add the butter cubes. Swirl the pan gently so the butter gradually melts over 2-3 minutes, creating a rich sauce.
- COMPLETE: Mix in the rest of the parsley. If the sauce thickens too much, remove the shrimp to a plate and stir in a teaspoon of water to achieve a pourable sauce. This dish provides just enough sauce to coat the shrimp, but it’s robust enough to pair with rice or pasta tossed in olive oil.
Notes
- Consider incorporating additional minced garlic cloves for a more robust garlic flavor.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness for a bolder kick.
- Be mindful not to overcook the shrimp to maintain a tender and juicy texture.
