Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 lb large shrimp (or prawns, peeled and deveined (if frozen, be sure to thaw first))
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tsp smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp sugar
1 tbsp butter (I prefer to use ghee clarified butter)
3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 red onion, (thinly sliced)
4 garlic cloves, (chopped)
1/2 green bell pepper and 1/2 yellow bell pepper, (cored and sliced)
1 cup canned diced tomato
1/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 tbsp dry white wine
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry and place it in a large bowl. Add the flour, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, coriander, cayenne, and sugar. Toss until the shrimp is well-coated.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until fragrant (be sure not to burn the garlic.) Add the bell peppers and cook another 4 minutes or so, tossing occasionally.
  • Now add the shrimp. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes, broth, white wine and lemon juice. Cook for a couple more minutes or until the shrimp turns bright orange.
  • Finally, stir in the chopped fresh parsley and serve!
