Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of versatile all-purpose flour
- A dash of salt, about 1/4 teaspoon
- Freshly ground black pepper, approximately 1/2 teaspoon
- A hint of cayenne pepper, around 1/4 teaspoon
- 1 1/2 pounds of succulent fresh shrimp, carefully shelled and deveined, tails removed
- 1/2 cup of aromatic olive oil
- 4 cloves of pungent garlic, finely minced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup of vibrant fresh parsley, finely minced
- Crushed dried oregano, a generous sprinkle of about 1/2 teaspoon
- A splash of white wine, 2 tablespoons to be exact
- 2 tablespoons of rich brandy
Step 1
Get your culinary adventure started by blending flour, salt, pepper, and a hint of cayenne pepper in a charming little bowl. Ensure the ingredients are well-mixed. Get your shrimp coated in this delightful flour mixture.
Step 2
Next, in a generously sized skillet, let those beautifully coated shrimp sizzle in a drizzle of olive oil on high heat for about 5 minutes. Remember to give them a toss every now and then to keep them from getting too crispy. Once they are perfectly cooked, delicately lift them out with a slotted spoon onto a lovely serving dish, leaving behind the flavorful oil in the pan.
Step 3
In that same pan, saute a medley of garlic, shallot, fresh parsley, and fragrant oregano over medium heat for about 3 minutes, making sure to stir them continuously for an aromatic blend. Spoon this wonderful mixture over the waiting shrimp. Then, return the pan to heat and get your broiler preheated to a cozy medium temperature.
Step 4
Now, it's time for a touch of drama - pour in some wine and brandy into the pan and ignite it with a match or lighter. Once the flames dance and settle, gently stir to release any caramelized bits stuck to the pan and drizzle this tantalizing sauce over the shrimp.
Step 5
Finally, place the dish of shrimp under the warm embrace of your preheated broiler for a brief 2 minutes, allowing them to get that perfect finishing touch. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
