Shrimp Scampi
Ingredients:
8 big shrimp or prawns
3 cloves of garlic sliced
A pinch of Pimenton smoked Spanish paprika.
2 Tablespoons butter and a touch more olive oil – say a tablespoon or teaspoon.
Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lime
Thyme
Chives
Jalapeno.
Method:
Make sure they don’t have any smell because then you’ll know they’re fresh. Peel, but keep the heads on - that’s where all the flavor is.
Coat the bottom of the pan with oil and then heat on high.
You are seasoning the shrimp before they hit the pan with a heavy sprinkle of salt and a good pinch of pepper flakes.
Only put them in the pan once the oil is very hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
When the shrimp/prawns are cooking add:
Poach them in this sauce for 3 minutes over a medium
Then sprinkle with chopped thyme and chives
