This is my copycat version of Paesano's Restaurant signature dish. You will love this garlic shrimp dish. Paesano's Restaurant is on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. Ingredients:
2 pints half-and-half cream |
salt & pepper, to taste |
1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left on (about 20) |
2 cups flour |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 egg yolk |
1 1/2 cups butter, cold, cut into 1 inch pieces |
1 medium lemon, juice of |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced |
3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400º F. 2. Soak shrimp in half& half for 30 minutes. 3. Drain shrimp and dust lightly in flour. 4. Sauté shrimp for 5 minutes on one side. 5. You will have to do in batches so that you do not overcrowd. 6. Do not turn shrimp. 7. Remove shrimp and place in a baking dish, sautéd side down, and place in pre-heated oven. 8. Turn to BROIL and broil for 5 minutes. 9. Meanwhile, mix egg yolk and lemon juice in half the butter and stir over low heat until butter is melted; take off heat. 10. Add garlic and remaining butter and return pan to heat. Stir briskly until butter melts and sauce thickens. 11. (Add a small amount of half& half to thicken more if you like.) Add chives and parsley. 12. Pool sauce in plates and top with shrimp. 13. Serve immediately. |
