Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails
- 1 tablespoon sriracha chili sauce
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 head garlic
- ½ cup white wine
- salt and pepper, to taste
- green onions
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shrimp and Sriracha chili sauce. Marinate for about 10 minutes.
- In a wide pan over medium heat, add butter and oil. When butter begins to melt, add garlic. Cook, stirring regularly until garlic is lightly browned and aromatic.
- Increase heat to high, stirring regularly to prevent from burning. Add shrimp and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove shrimp from pan and keep warm.
- Add the white wine to the pan and cook until reduced by half.
- Add shrimp and the green onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 4 minutes or until just cooked.
- Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- To keep from overcooking, take the shrimp off the stove as their color changes. They will continue to cook in their residual heat, especially if you're serving them on a heated sizzling platter.
- As the recipe requires quick, high-heat cooking, use equal parts of vegetable oil and butter. The butter will impart flavor and the oil will keep it from burning in the high heat.
- Use a wide pan to allow enough space for the shrimp to cook. Don't overcrowd the pan as you don't want the shrimp to overcook in their steam.
- Garlic is an important component. To draw out the full flavor without burning, add just when the butter begins to melt and the oil is warm (NOT hot!). Cook gently for a minute or two before raising the heat.
