Ok, so i could shrimp every day, prepared just about any way. Preparing the shrimp this way leaves the door wide open to serve simply alongside cocktail sauce or a nice garlic aioli, added to a salad, tossed with pasta, with grits, well you get the idea, just let your imagination roll.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 Pound large shrimp – I like to use 16-20 count
- Sea Salt
- Olive Oil
Directions
- Pour olive oil into a medium, heavy bottomed sauce pan until it is about 3 inches deep. Heat over medium until the oil reaches 165-180 degrees.
- Season shrimp with salt and add to the hot oil. Poach in batches until opaque and slightly curled. You don’t want the oil too hot – you are not frying them, this is a soft, gentle poaching.
- Serve warm with cocktail, aioli or as I said, on top of a caesar salad, tossed with pasta .. the possibilities are endless.
Enjoy~
