Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp peeled and rinsed. I leave the tails on, 16/20 count size
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
piccata sauce
- 1/2 cup butter salted; cut in pieces
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 4 Tbsp capers drained
- 2 Tbsp parsley finely minced
- salt sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Dry your shrimp on paper towels to remove excess moisture. Toss the shrimp with olive oil and sea salt.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp, in batches, for about a minute per side until the shrimp curls slightly, feels firm, and is opaque. Set the shrimp aside on a plate.
piccata sauce
- Melt the butter over low heat in a small skillet.
- Add the garlic and sauté gently for a minute. You don't want to brown the garlic, you are merely infusing the flavor into the butter and taking the raw edge off.
- Whisk in the lemon juice and capers and let the sauce gently simmer for another minute or so.
- Add the parsley and season with salt if needed.
- Add the shrimp back into the pan with the sauce and heat through very gently. Serve with more parsley and freshly cracked black pepper.
