BLACKENED SHRIMP
4 servings
A superlative dish for those who do not feel like they’re cooking unless the smoke alarm goes off.
Prepare:
Toss in a bowl with:
- 2 to 2½ pounds shell-on shrimp (preferably 26⁄30 or larger), deveined, above
Turn on an exhaust fan and open a window. Heat in a large skillet over high heat:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
When the oil just barely starts to smoke, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook, turning once, until the shells turn pink and the flesh is opaque, about 1 minute per side. Serve with:
- Lemon wedges
