INGREDIENTS
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
450g pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt to taste
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp caper brine
2 tbsp cold butter, cut into 4 equal pieces, divided
42g chopped flat-leaf parsley, divided
1 teaspoon water, or as needed

 

METHOD

1.    Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Place shrimp in an even layer on the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 minute without stirring.


2.    Season shrimp with salt; cook and stir until shrimp begin to turn pink, about 1 minute.


3.     Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir for 1 minute.


4.     Stir in lemon juice, caper brine, 1 piece of butter, and 1/2 of the parsley; cook until butter has melted, about 1 minute.

 

5.     Reduce heat to low and stir in remaining 3 pieces butter. Cook and stir until butter has melted, sauce is thick, and shrimp are pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.


6.     Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl; continue to cook butter sauce, adding water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if too thick, about 2 minutes. 


7.     Season with salt to taste; serve shrimp topped with the pan sauce and remaining parsley.

 

TIP

Serve alongside toasted baguette slices with a smear of aioli or herbed cream cheese.
