Chef Buck here, and today we're going to cook up a mess of shrimp
Look how fantastical that is
These are already deveined, which is awesome, but I'm going to go ahead and get the shells off of there
and then we'll get going on this dish, which is going to be lickety split
It's going to cook up real fast
There you go, we've got the shells off
I'm going to save the shells for broth
I'm heating my skillet on medium-high heat
I'm going to throw in a lot of olive oil
This is going to be very oily and garlicky
I'm going to end up putting in almost a half a cup of olive oil
That's okay, because it's going to be super garlicky and super shrimpy
We're just going to have this with a salad and a little bit of French bread
We're going to be sopping up a lot of that oil with bread
It's going to be super tasty
This is going to take a moment to heat up
Then it's going to be lickety split, super duper fast to cook
This ain't going to take more than 3 or 4 minutes, and we'll be ready to chow down
You feeling old today, Buck?
I've got to pull the muscle in my back
That's one of the drawbacks of being covered in muscle
It's so easy to pull when you're 99% muscle
Especially in your head
I think our oil is almost there
I've got some red pepper flakes
I'm going to throw that in there
Now I'm going to throw in my garlic
This is an unholy amount of garlic
This is a whole bulb of garlic
I've got it chopped up nice and fine
You don't have to put this much garlic in it, but it's garlic shrimp
I'm going to throw this in here
Go ahead and stir this around
We're going to do our garlic
We don't want to burn our garlic
We just want it to start to cook up
Color up a little bit
You can already smell it
It hasn't even been a minute
Now we're going to go ahead and throw in our shrimp
It's not going to take long at all for this to cook up
Maybe 3 minutes
We just want them to start to get a little pink
We've got some paprika here
Not shy with the paprika
It's going to add a nice color
It's going to add a nice flavor with that garlic
If you wanted to, you could throw a little bit of white wine in here
Or a little bit of sherry
I've got some sake
I'm going to throw in a little bit of salt and pepper
Of course, to taste
Go crazy with the garlic, go crazy with the paprika
Whatever your heart tells you to do
There's no wrong way to do this
We're just cooking it fast
We're cooking it Furious 7
These things have been cooking for 2 minutes
I've got some fresh lemon juice
There's one half of a lemon
I'm going to go crazy and throw the other half in here
I'm going to turn the heat off
Look at that, they're closed up
They're starting to curl up
They've got a lot of color in them
Of course, that's the paprika
Since it's a lot of shrimp and a lot of garlic
I'm going to add even more lemon juice
I'm going to put about the juice of 2 medium lemons in here
There you have it
That's it, I'm going to turn the heat off
And for the final piece de resistance
A little bit of parsley
It's going to add a nice flavor and a nice color
You could throw cilantro in there if you wanted to
You don't even have to throw anything in there
Look how beautiful that looks with just that little bit of color
The red, the green, the shrimp
This is like a shrimp Christmas
There you have it, that's all there is to it
It took about 4 minutes
Now we've got some French bread
We're going to slice this up
That's all there is to it
Now if I can divide these semi evenly
Get enough oil in each bowl
As you see, I'm serving it in a bowl because it's going to have a lot of oil
It's pretty wet, we're going to sop that stuff up
With our French bread
Boom, boom
Get your hands off my shrimp
I've got to make it beautiful
Boom, throw your nice chunk of bread on there
It's muy fantastico
So there you have it, some garlicky shrimp
In a nice garlicky oil sauce
Nice oily garlic sauce
It's garlic oil and shrimp
So make sure you eat it with a nice piece of French bread
Some kind of bread you can soak it up with
Definitely give this recipe a try
Bon Appetit
Super duper
What's the difference between a shrimp and a prawn?
You've got 5 seconds
3, 2, 1
There's no difference
It's just a different word
A prawn is just a big shrimp
People usually apply the word prawn
To a shrimp with an over inflated sense of itself
