Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp
2 doz. 26-30 per pound deveined shrimp
3/4 cup high quality orange juice
2-4 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp regular salted butter
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
Thaw and peel the shrimp. Dry the peeled shrimp by draining them on a paper towel or two.
Thinly slice your garlic cloves. Add the garlic to the high quality orange juice. Measure out spices and also add it to the orange juice.
In a large skillet over high heat melt 2 Tbsp. of butter. Once butter has melted add your shrimp. Cook them for about 30-60 seconds and begin flipping them over starting with the ones you placed in the pan first so they don’t get overdone. Cook for another 30-60 seconds. Remove the cooked shrimp from the pan, leaving the heat on high.
Once the butter and drippings begin to smoke ever so slightly add the spicy orange garlic mixture to the pan and give it a good stir. Add the last tablespoon of butter to the sauce and after a few minutes of cooking and occasional stirring your sauce should be slightly thicker.
Return the shrimp to the pan and give them a nice toss to coat them in the sauce. Let it sit for a few seconds and serve. We decided to serve it over some white rice (I know BIG surprise!!)
Enjoy!!
