Ingredients

  • Three tablespoons of olive oil for a flavorful base
  • A pound of fresh medium shrimp, carefully peeled and deveined
  • A touch of onion powder to enhance the taste
  • A hint of garlic powder for added depth
  • Fragrant dried oregano leaves for herbal notes
  • Wholesome dried thyme leaves for a touch of earthiness
  • A sprinkle of ground paprika for a dash of color
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick
  • A dash of cayenne pepper for a gentle heat
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavors
  • A tablespoon of water to bring everything together
  • Finally, a tablespoon of butter to add richness and depth

Step 1

Begin by heating oil in a pan over medium heat until it shimmers. Gently introduce the shrimp, allowing them to sizzle and dance in the pan for a minute or two. As the shrimp start to blush, sprinkle in a charming medley of onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, cayenne, salt, and pepper to create a symphony of flavors. Remember to invite a splash of water to join the party, ensuring the spices don't get too rowdy.

Step 2

Stir the ingredients together with care, letting the shrimp bask in the aromatic embrace of the spices. Allow the shrimp to waltz in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes, making sure not to let them overstay their welcome. Just as the shrimp reach a delightful firmness, introduce a pat of butter to the mix, creating a velvety finish. Once the shrimp are cooked to perfection, gracefully remove the pan from the heat, ready to serve up this delectable dish.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Marinate your shrimp in a zesty Cajun seasoning blend for an extra kick of flavor.
  2. 2. Keep your shrimp in an airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent any unwanted odors in your fridge.
  3. 3. Utilize stackable containers to save space in your fridge or freezer, making room for more delicious ingredients.
