Browned Butter Shrimp Food

BROWNED BUTTER HONEY LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat butter in a non stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Melt, swirling pan and stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes, or until the foam settles; the butter begins to change in colour to golden brown and has a nutty fragrance.
• Add the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic and chili flakes; stir well to combine all of the flavours together and cook for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
• Remove from heat. Pour out just over half of the browned butter from the pan (liquid only), leaving 2 tablespoons of the lime butter mixture in the pan, and reserve the rest for later.
• Add half of the shrimp to the lime/butter in the pan, season with salt and pepper. Sear for about 2 minutes each side, or until just cooked through and no longer opaque. Transfer to a plate, set aside.
• Wipe pan over with paper towel and add 2 more tablespoons of the lime/butter mixture to the pan. (You may need to add 1 teaspoon of olive oil or extra butter to the pan if your sauce has thickened too much.)
• Season and sear the remaining shrimp for 2 minutes each side, or until just cooked through and no longer opaque.
• Add the cooked shrimp back into the pan, and pour in the remaining lime/butter sauce; stirring through the shrimp to evenly coat. Season with salt if desired and garnish with parsley and extra chili flakes (if desired).
• Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad

BROWN-BUTTER SHRIMP WITH HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• In a 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium. Add hazelnuts and cook, stirring frequently, until the nuts smell toasty and are deep golden, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the nuts to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add butter and shallot to the skillet, and cook, stirring, until shallots are golden and butter is browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, then add shrimp. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn opaque and light golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.
• Transfer shrimp to a serving platter and spoon over any pan sauces. Top with the toasted hazelnuts and serve with crusty bread or over egg noodles.

BROWNED BUTTER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Over medium heat, melt the butter in a skillet.
• Once the butter begins to foam, reduce heat to medium-low and start stirring.
• Stir and simmer for about 3-5 minutes until butter browns.
• Remove from heat and pour 3/4 of the butter into a bowl and set aside.
• Return pan to heat and increase heat to medium again. Add in garlic and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Toss in the shrimp and season with brown sugar, smoked paprika and salt and pepper to taste.
• Sear the shrimp on both sides until cooked, about 1-2 minutes per side.
• To blacken the shrimp, cook a little longer and use tongs to rub the shrimp into the caramelized bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Dish and serve hot drizzled with remaining browned butter.
• Enjoy!
