Devil's Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 large or 12 small cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 pound medium shrimp, shelled, deveined, tails left on
- 2 tbl caribe (crushed Northern New Mexico red chile)
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Melt butter in oil in a large, heavy skillet. When butter is melted and hot, add garlic and sizzle, reducing heat before garlic starts to brown. Add shrimp and sprinkle with half each of caribe and salt; cook about 3 minutes or until shrimp barely begins to turn pink on bottom. Then turn shrimp over, sprinkle with remaining caribe and salt and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until shrimp are pink but still juicy. Taste and adjust seasonings. Sprinkle with cheese; let stand until cheese starts to melt, then serve at once, on warmed plates. Makes 4 servings.
