Base Recipe For Pan Seared Shrimp Recipes

SPICY PAN SEARED SHRIMP

Steps:

• De-vein and pat dry the shrimp. Place in a covered container.
• Combine all of the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and pour over the shrimp and toss.
• Place in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours or more.
• Heat a large cast iron frying pan with 1 tbs. of Mazola Corn Oil.
• Add a few shrimps at a time, do not overcrowd the pan!
• Cook the shrimp about 2 - 2 ½ minutes, depending on how large the shrimps are, until the edges turn pink and the shrimp is cooked through, turning the shrimp once so that they are a beautiful golden color on each side.
• Place shrimp on a platter as they are cooked.
• Serve with desired sides; I served mine with sweet potato fries and homemade flatbread.

PERFECT PAN-SEARED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• INSTRUCTIONS.
• Beat butter with fork in small bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until combined. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, toss shrimp, salt, pepper, and sugar in medium bowl. Add half of shrimp to pan in 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 large plate. Repeat with remaining tablespoon 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.

SHRIMP-SCAMPI PAN BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack and another rack in top position. Toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on sheet and roast on center rack, flipping once, until beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, and toss shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, oregano, and garlic. Season both with salt and pepper.
• Remove sheet from oven; flip potatoes and push to one side, then add asparagus to other. Roast until potatoes are just tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Switch oven to broil; add shrimp and lemon rounds on top of asparagus and potatoes.
• Broil on top rack until shrimp are opaque and browned in places, and asparagus and potatoes are cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Serve.
