Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter for a richer flavor)
- De Jonghe Seasoning, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Red pepper flakes (if desired)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Sergio's Seasoning, to taste
Directions:
- After peeling and deveining, pat the shrimp down with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will ensure they cook evenly and don’t steam in the pan.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, depending on the size of the shrimp, until they turn a lovely pink color and are just cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as shrimp can become tough and rubbery if left on the heat for too long. When the shrimp are done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it - garlic cooks quickly and can become bitter if overdone.
- Next, add the De Jonghe Seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together, letting the spices bloom in the hot oil for about 1 minute.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the garlic and seasoning mixture. Stir everything together until the shrimp are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce. Add a pinch of Sergio's Seasoning to taste.
- For a bit of brightness, squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the shrimp right before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
