Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 large lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
20 raw large shrimp in shell
Cayenne pepper (optional)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Peel the zest off the lemon with a potato peeler. Pile the pieces up a few at a time and cut them across into short, thin strips.

    Step 2

    2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the shrimp and toss them over a high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, seasoning them with some cayenne pepper or black pepper and sea salt as you do so.

    Step 3

    3. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half over the shrimp. Continue to cook until the juice has almost evaporated — the shrimp should be quite dry. Take the pan off the heat and let the shrimp cool for about 1 minute.

    Step 4

    4. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, chopped garlic, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and toss together well. Pile the shrimp into a large serving dish and serve with some finger bowls and plenty of napkins.
