01
Look for vibrant red, firm shrimp for optimal flavor and texture
Grab a large skillet, spatula, tongs, and a bowl for prepping.
03
Choose olive oil, melted butter, or a high smoke point oil for searing.
Season your shrimp generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices - paprika, garlic powder, or a pinch of chili flakes
05
Heat your chosen oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Add your shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, or until opaque and pink
07
Cook your shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to uneven cooking.
Add a splash of wine, lemon juice, or a simple butter sauce for an extra flavor boost.
09
Serve your shrimp immediately with your favorite sides like rice, pasta, or grilled vegetables
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, lemon wedges, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of color and flavor
