1.[Music] hello this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with garlic shrimp that's right there's about 15,000 garlic shrimp recipes in the world so there's no such thing as the garlic shrimp recipe but this is my garlic shrimp recipe and I think it's extremely delicious and I'd love to show you so here is what we do so this is one of those recipes you're going to want to get all your ingredients ready ahead of time the Foodies call that misl us regular folks we call it prep which is shorter and much less French so we're going to need a pound of shrimp peeled and deined some fresh Italian parsley freshly chopped lots of garlic if you use less than six cloves for a pound of shrimp don't call it garlic shrimp also have some red pepper flakes and some lemon juice and then the most top secret ingredient ever for garlic shrimp the brine from a jar of Capers oh and by the way quick tip if you spill some on the table just move the Ramin on top of it it's like it never happened anyway I'm going to put about a tablespoon of Caper brine in the lemon juice and and it's going to give it that little secret something that will have your foodie friends talking behind your back which is really the ultimate goal and last but never least we need some cold butter cut in four pieces okay after the prep is done we're going to put our best heaviest Skillet on the highest heat you have Crank that sucker Up full blast into the pan we're going to add some olive oil and we need to get this stuff hot really hot so highest heat we want to make sure the Bottom's coated and we're going to stand there with shrimp in one hand t tongs in the other and we're going to wait till we see the first wisps of smoke and I know what you're thinking I heard it's not healthy to let olive oil smoke you're absolutely right all right but for this recipe you need to and it's okay don't let it start burning but as soon as you see that first wisp of smoke add the shrimp in even them out and then don't do anything just let them Sizzle for a minute untouched while they're sizzling I want you to sprinkle them with salt all right we don't need any pepper cuz we have the red chili flakes and after about a minute I want you to toss them and basically do a little bit of a know kind of like a stir fry type action for another minute and at that point the shrimp are not going to be cooked all the way through all right but they're going to be about halfway so you're going to have a little bit of color on the outside but the inside is still going to be sort of translucent and when they look like that I'm going to go ahead and add my garlic and my chili flakes and we're going to stir that in and cook the garlic now this is only going to take about a minute we're going to really keep it moving we're not going to let the garlic Brown at all and since this is only going for like a minute that shouldn't be a problem so just keep kind of toss it stirring it tossing it stirring it and after 1 minute it's going to look something like that we're going to go ahead and quickly dump in the lemon juice Caper brine mixture one of the four chunks of butter and half our parsley okay we're going to save the other half to put on top fresh all right we're going to stir all that together I'm going to switch to a big spoon here and as soon as I see that first piece of butter is melted I'm turning the heat down to low we're going to toss in the rest of the butter and when that's melt Ed you are ready to eat some unbelievably delicious garlic shrimp all right you're going to taste an adjust for seasoning I didn't even need to tell you that but I had like 6 seconds to kill all right and this is fantastic on any kind of starch pasta rice potatoes Etc but I like it on toast so I had some Meer lemon bread how good does that sound some Meer lemon bread that I toasted I topped it with my garlic shrimp and then it's time for that amazing sauce now mine got a little thick as I was portioning my shrimp out so no worries put a little splash of water until that sauce texture is just to your liking all right if you need to blast it with a couple seconds of heat go ahead you're going to spoon over the sauce oh yeah unreal I hate when chefs say I wish you could smell this but you know what that's right I wish you could smell this you're definitely going to want a top with some fresh parsley that's why we save so much so be generous with that and there you go garlic shrimp so incredibly simple just sweet shrimp that big punch of garlic right in your face the acid from the lemon the herbaceous parsley just a classic classic combination and one I think you're going to have a very hard time not making after watching this video Perfect for a quick week night dinner or that's right a
