Sautéed Lemon Dill Shrimp Food

SAUTéED LEMON DILL SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and shallots and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque throughout, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a bowl; set aside. Add lemon juice and butter and cook over low heat until the butter is melted and a sauce is developed. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh dill and toss to distribute. Remove from the heat. Return shrimp to pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Cover and set aside while you get the serving dishes ready. Shrimp will be warmed through when you serve. Place a portion of rice into 4 warmed serving bowls. Spoon the shrimp and sauce over rice, sprinkle with additional fresh dill. Serve this dish with a side of steamed vegetables such as asparagus, carrots, or broccoli.

LEMON-DILL SHRIMP

Steps:

• Divide the shrimp between two 8- or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to one of the pans and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other shrimp. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the zest, juice, and dill to each pan, and shake the pan to combine.
• Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or arrange on a platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.
