Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp (21 to 25 count); for medium to large shrimp see Notes
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons salted butter or olive oil
- Chimichurri, for serving
Instructions
- Make the Chimichurri Sauce.
- Pat the shrimp dry. Remove the top part of the shell down to the tail (if the shrimp is in the shell). In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and kosher salt.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Cook the jumbo shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through and the internal temperature is 135°F, turning them with tongs. Remove to a plate and allow the shrimp to sit for 2 minutes (which increases the temperature to 145°F).
- Serve immediately, dolloped with spoonfuls of chimichurri sauce.
