Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chimichurri: In a bowl, mix chopped parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Sear the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- Combine: Remove the shrimp from heat and toss with half of the chimichurri sauce in the pan.
- Serve: Plate the shrimp and drizzle with additional chimichurri. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure the skillet is hot when searing the shrimp to lock in moisture. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
