Easy Peri Peri Shrimp

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and oil. When the butter is melted add pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly soft. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds - 1 minute). Then add paprika, oregano and ground peri-peri; mix to combine.

Step 2

Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper and sauté for 1-2 minutes on one side (until just beginning to turn pink and opaque), then flip and cook the other side.

Step 3

Pour lemon juice, honey and zest; mix to incorporate. Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes. Note: don't overcook your shrimp or they will turn rubbery.

Step 4

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and take off the heat immediately.

Step 5

Serve over polenta, pasta, rice, steamed vegetables.
