Shrimp Paulista

November 18, 2013 by Katie Leave a Comment

This shrimp dish packs a great flavor punch!  It’s apparently a regional dish from São Paulo, Brazil.  (After eating it, I really want to visit!)  It’s fast to pull together (even with marinating the shrimp), and requires hardly any ingredients.  This meal could become a weeknight staple of mine.  It would also make a great appetizer.

I had a big bowl of my Summer Couscous Salad already made, so I just served that alongside the spicy shrimp.  (It’s not the side dish I would recommend for this meal.  The flavors definitely clashed, but I was okay with that.  The salad was made and I was hungry!)  It would, however, be very good over rice or just with some crusty bread.

Start with the chopping…

  • Chop up a good amount of cilantro, lots of garlic, and cut a lime in half.

image

  • Place 1 pound of peeled, deveined shrimp in a large container.  (I removed the tails too.)

image

  • Add half of the cilantro.

image

  • Then add half of the garlic.

image

  • Sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flake and squeeze in the juice from the lime.

image

  • Stir to combine, cover, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

image

  • Heat some EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat.

image

  • Add the shrimp and cook for a minute or two.

image

  • Add the remaining cilantro.

image

  • Add the rest of the garlic.  Sprinkle in a little more crushed red pepper flake (to taste).

  • Give everything a toss and cook until the shrimp are pink, about 4 more minutes.

Serve immediately.  Enjoy!
