Ingredients
- Large shrimp
- 1 pound, peeled and deveined
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- White wine
- 1/2 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Hashbrowns
- 4 cups, frozen or fresh
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, ensuring not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half, enhancing the flavors of the sauce.
- In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the hashbrowns, pressing them down slightly for a crispy texture. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the garlic and wine sauce. Stir gently to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Season the shrimp and hashbrowns with additional salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the shrimp in the lemon juice and a bit of garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute the white wine with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or cherry tomatoes to the dish for extra nutrition and color.
