Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
Fat/Base:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet over medium heat, allowing butter to melt and create a simmering base for the culinary creation.
- Gently incorporate all seasonings and accompanying ingredients into the skillet, stirring to blend flavors and create a harmonious cooking environment.
- Carefully introduce the shrimp into the bubbling mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the aromatic sauce.
- Tenderly maneuver the shrimp using a wooden spoon, rotating them periodically to guarantee uniform cooking and prevent sticking.
- Monitor the cooking process vigilantly, watching for the telltale sign of perfectly prepared seafood – a vibrant pink hue and opaque texture, typically achieved within 4-6 minutes.
- Once the shrimp reach optimal doneness, immediately remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking and maintain the delicate, succulent texture.
- Allow the shrimp to rest momentarily in the residual warmth, letting the flavors intensify and meld together before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking shrimp, as they can quickly become tough and rubbery, resulting in a less enjoyable texture.
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and ensure they are deveined and cleaned properly before cooking.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like garlic, paprika, or cayenne pepper to customize the dish’s flavor profile.
- For a lighter version, substitute butter with olive oil and serve over a bed of zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice to reduce carbohydrates.
