Ingredients
For the shrimp
- 450 g (1 lb) fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined *you can also use defrosted uncooked shrimp*
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- juice of half a lemon (about 2 tbsp)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
For the seasonings
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
For cooking the shrimp and toppings
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh minced parsley
Instructions
- To a small bowl add the 3 cloves of pressed garlic, juice from half a lemon, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Whisk together to combine. To this bowl add the shrimp and let sit for 10 minutes.
- To a medium bowl add the flour, 1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, 1 tsp onion powder and 1 tsp garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- After the shrimp have sat for 10 minutes in the garlic-lemon mixture, remove the shrimp from the garlic-lemon mixture, letting excess drip off and add to the flour mixture. Toss to combine and set aside.
- To a medium skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the red onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Pour the onion and butter from the pan into a bowl and set aside.
- Put the skillet back on medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer in the pan, cooking the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until nicely browned and cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan immediately to a plate or bowl and drizzle with the reserved butter-red onion mixture. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
