Smoky Citrus Shrimp with Parsley
Grub co-author Bryant Terry eats these tangy, garlicky shrimp piled high on crispy toasts, but sometimes he sandwiches them inside a quesadilla oozing with shredded Jack cheese. He recommends buying wild-caught or sustainably raised shrimp from the United States or Canada, where environmental standards are stricter than in places like Latin America and Southeast Asia.
Ingredients
-
2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
-
3/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
-
Kosher salt
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
6 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
-
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
-
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, minced
-
Lightly toasted baguette slices, for serving
Direction
-
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the chipotle powder and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn pink but are still raw in the center, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate.
-
Reduce the heat to moderately high. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add the orange, lemon and lime juices and boil until slightly thickened, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet, about 2 minutes.
-
Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook until the shrimp are white throughout, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley and season with salt. Transfer to bowls and serve with baguette toasts.
