Ever since Mike and I ate at the coast in Oregon during our Christmas vacation, I have been on a crazy seafood kick! I have missed the taste of the fresh crab and shrimp, and being in the Northwest corner of Colorado, we are limited to what kind of seafood we can even get here!
Mike had gone to the store after work and managed to find some frozen shrimp. We started to think about what kind of shrimp to make, and I found this recipe on Pinterest, and we loved it! I foresee making this a few more times, if we can find the shrimp again!
Mike loved the sauce so much, that he decided that we needed to make popcorn, so that he could dip it into the sauce. I had warned him numerous times not to get sick off of the sauce, and he heeded my advice, but loved it. I joked that I could put it into a container so that he could put it on his eggs in the morning, but he said that he was finished with it!
Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
4-5 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced (we used more because we love garlic)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (we used more)
1 teaspoon sweet paprika (we used smoked paprika and more of it)
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (we used 2 pounds)
1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (we used more but we used bottled)
1-2 tablespoons dry white wine (we used more and an old wine we had)
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (we didn't use this at all)
lemon pepper to taste (optional) {we did not use this}
In a saute pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and paprika. Saute for 1 minute or until things are fragrant.
Increase the heat to high, add the shrimp, lemon juice and dry white wine. Stir well. Saute the shrimp until the turn pink and are opaque throughout, about 3-5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with parsley and serve!
Enjoy!
