10–12 shrimp, peeled, deveined
Marinade
½ clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ clove garlic, minced
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 lime wedge
Garnish
1 jalapeño, sliced
Cilantro, coarsely chopped
In a bowl, combine all ingredients for Marinade. Add shrimp and stir to coat; set aside.
Preheat the pot over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add olive oil and spread it evenly. Once the oil starts to smoke, place the marinated shrimp in the pot and sear for about 1 minute. Flip the shrimp and sear the other side for another minute.
Add butter and garlic to the pot, then turn off the heat. Stir lightly, allowing it to cook over residual heat for about 30 seconds.
Sprinkle with cayenne pepper, squeeze lime juice, and give it a final stir. Garnish with jalapeño slices and chopped cilantro before serving.
