Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 lemon Lemon slices
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, parsley, minced garlic, chili flakes, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss the shrimp until fully coated, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
Transfer the shrimp and marinade into an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Add the lemon slices and rosemary sprigs to the container.
Seal tightly and refrigerate for 48 hours, allowing the shrimp to absorb the marinade. Shake or stir the container once or twice per day to redistribute the marinade.
After 48 hours, remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp in small batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Serve immediately as an appetizer, with a drizzle of the reserved marinade (if desired), or incorporate into your favorite salads, pastas, or rice dishes.
