• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs shrimp (peeled and deveined)

3-4 tbsp Calabrian chili paste

10 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 cup cilantro (finely chopped)

6 tbsp butter (salted)

2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)

salt

Directions

In a large shallow pan over medium-low heat melt butter. Add olive oil.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant and soft (3-5 minutes). Do not burn the garlic. If it begins to brown, lower the heat.

Add Calabrian chili paste and cook for another minute. Add half the cilantro and stir to combine.

In one layer add the shrimp (if all the shrimp don't fit, cook in multiple batches). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle a little bit of salt on each side. Do not overcook! Shrimp should be juicy not rubbery.

Top with rest of the cilantro, and serve with crusty bread. Enjoy!
