Easy Sweet Chili Garlic Shrimp
Sweet Chilii Garlic Shrimp is packed with aromatic flavors, spicy and garlicky. This great seafood appetizer is easy to make just in 20 minutes.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ pound jumbo shrimp with tails on, I used 20 (fresh or frozen thawed prior)
- Salt and coarse black pepper to taste
- 3-4 tablespoon of Olive oil
- 3 tablespoon butter, unsalted or salted
- 2 healing teaspoons of fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon seafood broth or meat/veg broth or just warm boiled water
- 2 medium red chilis, I used 4 birdseye chilis, it was spicy thinly sliced with seeds
- 2 teaspoons parsley, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons sweet garlic chili sauce or spicy sauce
- red pepper flakes for garnish
- lime wedges or lemon for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large non-stick pan heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute per side. Until the shrimp is just turning pink. For smaller shrimp cooking time should be reduced in half. Set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Deglaze the skillet with broth, and add garlic and chilis. Cook for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Add the garlic chili sauce after that.
- Return the shrimp and coat it in the sauce. About 1-2 minutes.
- Remove just the shrimp on a serving plate.
- Continue with the sauce. Add butter, and parsley to the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed and simmer for a couple of minutes. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and serve immediately with rice, cauliflower rice, noodles or as a part of shared appetizers.
