4 Minute Spicy Garlic Shrimp #107997

recipe by Chippie/RecipeZaar

Recipe is originally from the Food Network courtesy of Rachael Ray, but I tweaked it to fit our tastes. Very quick & easy shrimp recipe that's done on the stovetop. If your tastes desire spicy & garlic, then this recipe is just for you.

2 servings

17 minutes 10 mins prep

12 shrimp (Jumbo sized, peeled, deveined, & tails intact)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves (crushed with the side of a knife)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon steak seasoning (Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick is recommended)

1 teaspoon lemons, zest of

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.

Add olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and shrimp.

Season with grill seasoning or salt & pepper.

Cook shrimp 3 minutes or until just pink.

Toss with lemon zest, juice, & chopped parsley.

Remove shrimp to a serving platter, leaving the garlic cloves in the pan.

Dnote: I made this in a cast iron frying pan on my grill. After the shrimp were done, I did salmon in the same pan, the same way, and both were excellent. I left off the red pepper flakes, due to wimpy family members.

Looks good.I just have a procedural question.Why do it on the grill if you are using a pan?Just

convenience? Smoke?
I'm glad to know about the pan for a night I didn't want to "grill", although I think I'll try it on the grill first.

 
A few reasons...

it does add a little smoke, it keeps the fishy smell out of the house, and I just love using the 12-inch old cast iron frying pan that I inherited from hubby's grandparents. I have a kitchen that doesn't have a stove fan, so when I fry anything that produces an odor, it really sticks around. So lots of times I will choose to cook outdoors, and this old frying pan is the best. I didn't want it to pick up too much "smoke" flavor and this does the trick. It is also great for doing blackened anything.
