Quick and Easy Shrimp Dinner
Real fast and easy pan fried shrimp and sautéed veggies.
Ingredients
- 12 large large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 4 small potatoes or 2 medium
- salt and pepper
- 1 large onion cut into strips
- 2 cups broccoli florets or lima beans or peas etc., etc.
- 1 roma tomato diced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- The potatoes are going to take the longest so you put a large skillet on with a couple of swirls of extra virgin olive. Cut up the potatoes into thick slices and add them to the pan. Salt and pepper them then toss them a couple of times to get them coated.
- Defrost the shrimp in the microwave then peel and devein them. Squeeze the juice from 1/2 fresh lemon on them and one egg. Mix it all up with a fork and let it rest a little.
- Cut up the onion and add it and the broccoli to the potato pan. Toss it all together and toss a few more times as they cook.
- Put a skillet that is just large enough to handle the shrimp when you are going to lay them flat in it to fry. Set the burner at medium high. Add enough olive oil to get 1/4 " deep. Put the flour in a bowl to dredge the shrimp in and add salt and pepper. Now you can let your creative juices run wild. Today I added garlic powder, dried basil, cayenne pepper and grated parmesan cheese to the flour. But, you jazz it up any way you want. BTW just salt and pepper will work just fine. Dredge the shrimp in the flour mix and lay them out flat in the pan. Give them just 30 seconds a side and remove them to a paper towel to drain the oil off.
- We had one Roma tomato in the fridge so on a whim I diced it up and added it to the veggies. And as always when sautéing vegetables I squeeze some lemon juice on them and drop the rind in too. Toss the veggies all together and cook them up a little more until they are ready.
