Ingredients
16 oz bag of EZ Peel Shell-On Large (41-50 count) Raw Shrimp(get them in the Frozen food section) You can pop them in the fridge to thaw before going to work... or dump in water and pull shells off just before cooking. They take abut 5 to 10 minutes to thaw in water.Weber Grill Creations Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning, A Liberal amount (from 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp depends on your taste) This is Dehydrated garlic, salt, sweet red pepper, & spices, Any other brand will do, I just like this best.Dash of McCormick Smokehouse Black Pepper (if you don't have, use 1 or 2 drops of liquid smoke or hickory smoke added to ground pepper)Juice of one lemon (roll the lemon well prior to cutting to get the most juice out)1 - 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil or a little "Pam" type cooking spray if needed
Prep: This will take 5 to 15 minutes depending on whether you like the shells on your shrimp or not. Also if you have pre-thawed shrimp it goes faster.
You will need a non-stick frying pan at least 10 inches diameter or larger - don't want to crowd the shrimp
SHELLS-ON PREP: 5 minutes
1. Put shrimp in water (cool) to thaw.
2. While that's thawing, gather other ingredients.
3. Roll and cut lemon in half (you can use a juicer if you want or just squeeze lemon over pan when it is time).
SHELLS-OFF PREP: 15 minutes (yields about 12.5 ounces of raw shrimp
1. Put frozen shrimp in cool water; start to slip off the shells. Put shelled shrimp on paper towel, Pat dry when done.
2. Gather other ingredients, place near cooking area, open lids have ready to use.
3. Roll and cut lemon in half (you can use a juicer if you want or just squeeze lemon over pan when it is time).
Ready ...Cook!
1. Heat pan to Medium-high heat, add olive oil.
2. Put shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle very generously with Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning, Toss. Add a dash or more to your taste of Smokehouse Black Pepper (if using liquid smoke ONLY 1 or 2 drops, NO MORE!)
3. Place shrimp in pan in single layer, DON'T OVER-CROUD. Watch till the bottom just turns pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss, flip or stir to get other side in contact with pan. I like mine just lightly pink, they are tender, juicy and medium rare. If you prefer them medium to well done then turn heat down to medium and cover pan with a lid for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Divide into 4 servings (I weigh my own serving so I can track my meal plan better) and serve with Brown Rice and your favorite veggie for a yummy dinner! Here's to your health, Enjoy!
