About the Recipe
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! Shrimp seared in our Basil EVOO gets a bright, fresh finish from lemon and basil, while smoky garlic and onion seasoning adds plenty of savory flavor. Ready in about 15 minutes, it’s an easy dish to serve on its own or pair with pasta, rice, vegetables or a fresh salad.
Ingredients
2 lb. Raw, Easy Peel Shrimp, cleaned and deveined
Singing Butcher Shoppe Smoky Roasted Garlic & Onion Seasoning, to taste
Sea salt, to taste
2 Tbsp. The Purple Olive Basil EVOO, plus more as needed and for finishing
1 fresh lemon
Fresh basil, for garnish
Preparation
Clean and devein the shrimp, if necessary.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons The Purple Olive Basil EVOO.
Generously season the shrimp with Smoky Roasted Garlic & Onion Seasoning and sea salt. Start lightly—you can always add more seasoning later.
Once the oil is hot, about 90 seconds, use tongs to place the shrimp into the skillet in a single layer so each piece makes contact with the hot oil.
Sear the shrimp, turning as needed, until cooked through, approximately 5 minutes depending on the size and quantity of the shrimp. Add a little more Basil EVOO around the sides of the pan if needed while cooking.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the shrimp with a little additional Basil EVOO and toss gently to coat.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and toss again. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
