Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Toss the shrimp in the seasoning mix and set them aside.
  • Pre-heat a pan or cast iron skillet for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat.
  • Add the butter or coconut oil to the pan and allow it to melt.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan and cook them for 1-2 minutes per side.

Notes

    1. Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used. 
    2. You can use any type of seasonings you prefer to make these shrimp.
    3. You want your shrimp to be dry, not wet when you cook them. Be sure to dry them off after you clean them and before you toss them in the seasoning mix.
    4. Be sure to let the pan heat up before you start cooking the shrimp. A hot pan helps you get that perfect brown sear on the shrimp.
