Garlic Butter Shrimp

shrimp,

salt

black pepper

garlic, minced

lemon juice,

parsley,

Add butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt until it starts to bubble, about 1-2 minutes. Sear the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until the edges turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and parsley. Toss well to mix evenly.

This crisp shrimp is really easy to make with a handful of ingredients and 20 minutes to spare. You simply toss the shrimp in a batter then skillet fry them in hot oil.

Crispy Shrimp

grilling shrimp

cornstarch

all-purpose flour

iced water

olive oil (for pan)

Rinse and pat shrimp dry.

In two places, score through vein on underside of shrimp. We scored near the head then farther down near the tail. This will help the shrimp from curling up really tight. Only score it, do not cut all the way through.

With shrimp on a cutting board, hold sifter above the shrimp and lightly add cornstarch to the sifter. Sift cornstarch over shrimp, then turn over to sprinkle the other side. You may not use all of the cornstarch.

To make the batter, in a medium bowl, whisk together egg, flour, and iced water (do not add the ice).

Add enough olive oil to your skillet to come about 1/4-inch up the side. Preheat the oil to 150-175 over medium-high heat.

Once oil reaches temp you will need to work quickly. Using tongs, dip shrimp into the batter. Allow to drip off for just a second, then place into hot oil. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Cook shrimp about 3 minutes on each side. Do not crowd the shrimp.

Remove from skillet to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

I just made tbis and it was my first time ever frying shrimp, I usually do not make things like this because I find I do not like cooked shrimp however.... I made this and made a spicy mayo, put everything on a roll with lettuce and it was delicious!!!!

Sounds great. Can you use deshelled and deveined , frozen cooked shrimp?
Thank you.
