Ingredients
- 500 grams (1.1 pounds) Shrimp fresh or frozen, medium to medium-large whole
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt fine sea salt
- black pepper ground
- lemon to serve with, plural
Instructions
- If you don't know how to clean shrimp please see the text above.
- Prepare the shrimp. Pull and remove the head of the shrimp, then the legs, and then remove the shell. Optional: leave only one piece of shell at the end to hold the tail in place. Next, remove the vein. Add the shells and heads to a mesh strainer to drain. Add the shrimp bodies in a strainer. Then pat dry with paper towels.
- Season the cleaned shrimp with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the shrimp heads and shells and turn the heat to low.
- Saute for 8-10 minutes stirring occasionally. This is done to flavor the oil with all the delicious shrimpy flavor.
- Drain the oil and shrimp shells in a fine mesh strainer with a bowl underneath.
- Clean the pan and then add the oil back to the pan. Heat to medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp and pan-fry for 3 minutes turning them as needed to get even color on both sides.
- Take the pan off the heat and let the shrimp sit in the hot oil for 30 seconds more then transfer to a plate. Add 2 tablespoons of the frying oil to a small bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Drizzle over the shrimp.
- Serve with fresh lemon quarters on the sides to squeeze on top.
