I know.. you’re sitting there in shock right now, I’m actually doing a seafood recipe. Some of you know and some might not, but I’m allergic to shellfish so I avoid it generally. But I happen to live with a man obsessed with seafood. So yesterday at the grocery store I was like “how about I make you some shrimp tomorrow”. To say it was like Christmas for him is an understatement! So here’s a really quick basic shrimp recipe that is super yummy {or at least that’s what Mr. Not So Paleo says}!
• 1/2 lb of medium shrimp, raw
• Parsley {fresh is better but dried totally works}
• In a pan get some butter melting {or Ghee} {or you could use olive oil if you don’t want to do butter…which is what I did!} {I don’t recommend coconut oil here because it’ll over power your dish}. Put in your shallots and garlic, let that cook for just a few minutes, you don’t want a ton of color on it so just go slow.
• Toss in your shrimp and let it start to cook, add in the juice of one whole lemon and sprinkle of parsley a dash of salt and some pepper.
• **** When your shrimp are literally a few seconds from being done {Done = pretty in pink}, turn off your stove and move pan to a different burner. The heat from your pan will finish cooking them all the way through. That way you don’t have tough over done shrimp!
• After it’s on your plate I like to drizzle with some oil and a few more cracks of pepper.
{The cooking times {from adding your butter in the pan} is roughly 5 minutes or less depending on how many shrimp you have to cook}
that looks yummy and so very easy!
