Ingredients
- 1½ pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or any high heat oil
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce or 1-2 teaspoons if you aren't a fan
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ cup fried garlic for topping
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Fresh chopped parsley for topping
Instructions
- INFUSE: Add the garlic, butter, and oil to a large skillet and set it over medium-low heat. Let the butter infuse with the garlic for 5-7 minutes, stirring often. The garlic should barely sizzle here, you don’t want it to brown. Prepare the shrimp while the butter is infusing.
- TOSS: Add cornstarch and smoked paprika to a large ziptop bag, zip and shake to combine. Add shrimp, shake to combine, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir and set aside for now.
- REMOVE: When the garlic is done, carefully remove it to a small bowl, leaving behind as much of the oil-butter mixture as possible.
- COOK: Kick the heat up to medium-high. Add shrimp in a single layer, allowing them to sauté for roughly a minute on each side or until they start to turn up into a ‘c’ shape. Do this in batches so they cook evenly.
- FINISH: Add prepared sauce mixture, toss to combine. Top with butter infused garlic, sliced scallions or parsley, and the fried garlic.
- SERVE: Squeeze lemon juice on top before serving.
