Equipment

  • Cooking pan

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound red Argentine shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1.5 tablespoons dry white wine/ chicken or shrimp broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 5-6 cranks of fresh-ground black pepper
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • Cooked or ready-to-eat rice

Instructions

  • Ensure the red Argentine shrimp are peeled and deveined, and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Mince the garlic cloves finely.
  • If you plan to serve the Argentine Red Shrimp with rice, cook the rice according to package instructions.
  • In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the red Argentine shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turns opaque and pink.
  • Pour in the dry white wine, chicken broth, or shrimp broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape any flavorful bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Season the shrimp with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp for a citrusy kick. Stir to combine.
  • Allow the shrimp to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are fully cooked and coated with the flavorful sauce.
  • Garnish the Argentine Red Shrimp with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat, fresh parsley for brightness, and lemon wedges for an extra zing.
  • Serve the Argentine Red Shrimp with Rice hot, and enjoy the succulent shrimp with the flavorful garlic and citrus-infused sauce. It's a delightful and quick seafood dish with a touch of Argentine flair.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a long-grain or basmati rice for best results.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute dried ones.
  • You can add additional vegetables, such as mushrooms or zucchini, for a more flavorful dish.
  • For a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • To make the dish vegan, replace the shrimp with firm tofu.
  • To make the dish gluten-free, use gluten-free rice.
