🥘 Ingredients
🧂 400 g peeled pink shrimp (tails on for presentation)
🧄 4 garlic cloves (≈ 12 g), thinly sliced or finely minced
🌿 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley (≈ 8 g), finely chopped
🍋 1 lemon (juice and zest)
🧈 30 g butter
🫒 2 tbsp olive oil (≈ 30 mL)
🧂 5 g salt (about 1 tsp)
🌶 2 g Espelette pepper (or chili flakes, optional)
🧂 Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Rinse & dry the shrimp
Quickly rinse the shrimp under cold running water 🚿, then pat them completely dry with kitchen paper. This prevents splattering and ensures better browning during cooking.
2️⃣ Heat the pan
In a large skillet, melt the butter 🧈 together with the olive oil 🫒 over medium heat. This combination provides both rich flavor and a higher smoke point, preventing the butter from burning too quickly.
3️⃣ Add the garlic
