SHRIMP SHRIMP SHRIMP!!! Lately, most of my posts have been sweet. I thought it was about time to mix it up and make a savory post. I find it hard to post savory recipes, however. I honestly believe that you have to gauge the right amount of spices in the moment. Sometimes, following a recipe exactly isn't always the best course of action. Here are my best approximations of the making for an amazing dish! Eat up, friends, but take a chance and make some in-the-moment-changes!
What you'll need:
- 1lb large shrimp, cleaned and split
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- handful of dill or parsley
- 1/4 cup of margarita mix
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
How you make it:
Start by warming the garlic, paprika, pepper and salt in the olive oil. Once warmed through and aromatic, make sure your pan is VERY hot and toss in your shrimp. Saute until pink and almost completely cooked through. Then pick out the shrimp. Pour the margarita mix and white wine into the pan and warm through. Once bubbling (1 or 2 mins), add in the shrimp, add the chopped dill or parsley, and finish cooking. Remove from heat when fully cooked (another 1-2 mins). Make sure not to over cook your shrimp or else they will be chewy! Serve with pasta or crusty bread! NOM NOM NOM
