PRESENTATION

The shrimp are always delicious, with pasta, in salad or tempura... and even more so when enjoyed in purity, like in the pan-fried shrimp recipe we propose here! An easy and quick main dish that even those less experienced with seafood can prepare without issues. To season the crustaceans, we made a gremolata, which is a mixture of garlic, parsley, and lemon zest that usually accompanies the classic Milanese osso buco but also enhances fish dishes.

Preparation

How to prepare Pan-fried Shrimp

To make the pan-fried shrimp, first remove the intestine of the crustaceans by cutting the shell along the back 1 and gently extracting it with the help of a toothpick 2. There's no need to remove the shell, head, and legs. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes 3.

Once they are well sautéed, deglaze with white wine 4 and let the alcohol evaporate completely 5, then season with salt 6. Lower the heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, prepare the gremolata: finely chop the garlic cloves 7, then add them to the chopped parsley 8 along with the grated lemon zest 9. Mix well.

Add the gremolata to the shrimp 10 and sauté for another couple of minutes to mix them with the seasoning 11. Turn off the heat and serve your pan-fried shrimp immediately 12!
