Ingredients
- ¼ cup grapeseed oil
- 2½ teaspoons chili paste
- 1½ tablespoons minced garlic
- ½ cup roughly chopped cilantro, washed and dried
- 1 pound medium-large raw shrimp (about 31 to 35 per pound), peeled and deveined
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make the sauce. Add the oil to a large sauté pan and place it over low heat. Add the chili paste, garlic and cilantro to the pan and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Then turn the heat to high.
- Prep shrimp. While the pan is heating, place the shrimp on a baking sheet or large plate and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sauté. Once the pan is hot, add the shrimp, with at least a couple inches between them -- you should hear a sizzling sound. If you don't, your pan's not hot enough. Wait until the pan is very hot and listen for the sizzle!Sauté the shrimp just until cooked through, about 1 to 1½ minutes per side.Make sure you serve the shrimp with any bits of the sauce that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Those bits are delicious!!!
