Anytime Balsamic Shrimp Recipe Type: Shrimp, Balsamic Vinegar, Seafood Appetizer Yields: 4 to 6 servings Prep time: 15 min Cook time: 5 min Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds large uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined 3 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup 18 Year Meyer Lemon Balsamic from evoo market Fleur de Sel salt, sea salt, or coarse salt to taste* 1 tablespoon snipped chives, chervil leaves, or minced Italian parsley for garnish * This is a good place to use the wonderful Fleur de Sel salt. Preparation: Mix the shrimp with the garlic and olive oil in a bowl and set aside to marinate for half an hour. Heat a skillet large enough to hold the shrimp and when its hot, add the butter. When the butter sizzles, add the shrimp. Using a wooden spoon, flip and toss the shrimp around in the skillet over medium to medium-high heat until they just start turning pink. Add any remaining oil and garlic (from marinade in the shrimp bowl); stir well. Reduce heat to low, add the balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring rapidly so it will combine and coat the shrimp. Add an additional 3 tablespoon, one at a time, and continue to cook the shrimp stirring constantly until theyre coated with the balsamic glaze and done (1 or 2 minutes), but still springy to the touch. Remove the shrimp to a serving platter and sprinkle very lightly with the sea salt or coarse salt. Drizzle with the Meyer Lemon Balsamic Vinegar sprinkle with the chopped herbs. Serve immediately. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
