Ingredients

  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp 16 to 20 count per pound
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley minced
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard grey poupon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  • 1/8 cup plus 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean the shrimp, remove the shells. Make a slit down the back of the shrimp and clean well. This will also create the "butterfly" effect. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. Mix together all of the ingredients except the shrimp.
  3. Add shrimp and coat well with the mixture. Cook within 10 minutes of combining or the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp.
  4. In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat.
  5. Add the shrimp and cook about 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

Notes

  • It's easy to over-cook shrimp and make them rubbery and keep in mind, as long as the skillet is hot, it will keep cooking even if you turn off the stove.
