The recipe calls for 2 lbs of shrimp and I only used one lb. I used dried thyme (1/3 tsp and 1/4 tsp. of chili powder for 1 lb. of shrimp.
Ingredients
•½ cup unsalted butter (your choice of salted/unsalted)
•1 teaspoon fresh thyme
•zest of one orange
•2 teaspoons minced garlic
•2 lbs. raw shrimp
•½ teaspoon chili powder
•salt and pepper to taste
Serves: 8
Instructions
1.Heat the butter in a medium skillet over low heat. When the butter is melted, add the thyme leaves. Stir and simmer, keeping the heat low (it burns easily), for 5 minutes or until the butter reaches a golden brown color. Remove from heat and stir in the zest. Pour the butter into a small bowl and let it rest for a few minutes.
2.In the same skillet, with a light coating of the butter remaining, add the garlic and sautee for 1 minute. Add the raw shrimp and the chili powder; shake or toss in the pan for 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp is no longer translucent. Serve with the butter and pasta, grains, rice, or a salad.
