Ingredients
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp peeled, deveined, tails on
- ½ batch chimichurri sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce according to the directions and set it aside to allow the flavors to meld, while you prepare the shrimp. I usually make the whole batch and use the other half over steak or chicken.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt and pepper on both sides of the shrimp, then place them in the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Pour the chimichurri sauce over the shrimp, toss to coat the shrimp and turn off the heat. You don’t want to cook the sauce, but ever so slightly warm it up with the shrimp.
