Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, allowing the butter to melt.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in the dark rum, orange juice, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, letting it melt into the sauce to create a silky texture.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side, along with your choice of crusty bread, rice, or a green salad.
