I adore spicy shrimp recipes and just couldn't find a shrimp recipe that suited me. Too pale, not spicy enough. Came up with this very simple recipe, it's more of a technique than recipe. Excellent served with a side of yellow rice. Can also be made ... More

Ingredients
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Essence -
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • Lemon wedges
  • fresh chopped parsley

Directions
  1. Prepare Essence in a small container. Clean and wash shrimp and lay out in a single layer on a large platter. Dry with a paper towel.
  2. Sprinkle liberally with the Essence - I use approximately 2 tbsp. Be generous! Let the shrimp rest for 30 minutes with the rub.
  3. Begin the shrimp by heating a large skillet on high heat and add the olive oil. It should be very hot, but not smoking. Add the shrimp on one side of the pan. Overcrowding is what produces a limp shrimp, don't want that! Let the shrimp rest on one side of the pan for approximately one minute, then begin to saute and spread around the pan.
  4. Saute on high until shrimp starts to turn pink. Remove from heat and place shrimp in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle liberally with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
