We love shrimp – any way you serve it. I bought some cooked shrimp by mistake from the freezer section. I thought it was raw. So what to do besides shrimp cocktails? This dish was so easy and came out delicious!
Marinating the Shrimp
I wasn’t sure how cooked shrimp would absorb the flavors, but it came out perfect!
Place the shrimp in a bowl and top with all the spices.
Stir in the olive oil, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
If you are using raw shrimp, only marinate for an hour.
Making the Easy Spicy Shrimp
Heat the ghee and 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. You can substitute European butter for the ghee. It has a much lower water content, or make your own clarified butter.
Add the green onions and cook just until they are starting to get soft. Push to the side.
Place the shrimp in the hot skillet
and cook until it’s hot, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
Mix it all together and serve over hot orzo or rice.
