Description
Spicy Drunken Shrimp is a bold and flavorful seafood dish featuring tender shrimp sautéed in a spicy garlic chili sauce with a splash of wine, creating a savory and slightly sweet glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 green onion, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté garlic and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Stir in soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice.
- Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until heated through and glazed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and green onion before serving.
Notes
- Serve over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
- Do not overcook shrimp to keep them tender.
- Substitute chicken broth for wine if preferred.
