Ingredients

  • 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled (tails removed) & deveined (See Note 1)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (See Note 2)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl. Toss with the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt and garlic powder until coated.
  2. Heat a large nonstick or enameled cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s good and hot before adding the shrimp.
  3. Add the half of the shrimp. There should be a bit of space between the shrimp so that they sear rather than steam.
  4. Cook for 1 minute. Using tongs, flip the shrimp and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Take care not to overcook the shrimp or they will become rubbery.
  5. Transfer the shrimp to a plate or bowl. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium and add the apple cider mixture. Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
  8. Add the shrimp to the vinegar-syrup mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Note 1: I use large shrimp, which are often labeled as 31/35 (31-35 shrimp per pound).
  • Note 2: If you don't have maple syrup, substitute with honey or agave nectar.
