RECIPE: Pan Seared Shrimp
1 November 2004, 7:56 PM

It's been a while since I posted a recipe. This one is actually my husband's own invention. We had last night decided on making shrimp for tonights dinner, but since I wasn't feeling up to cooking the style of shrimp was up to him. It was delicious!

Since it was kinda made up on the spot, we don't have exact measurements, but you can increase or decrease according to your own taste:

Wash and peel shrimp. Be sure to remove the dark "vein" along one end. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with some kosher salt, black pepper (freshly ground) and paprika. Add about a tablespoon of unsalted butter to a pan. When just melted, add the shrimp and toss a bit to coat with the butter, then cook until done. (About 4-6 minutes. The paprika should get all nice and dark and crispy on the shrimp.)

We served it with wild rice and creme brulee for dessert.

Paypal has got to have the WORST sytems of trying to resolve a problem. I'm still waiting - nearly 18 days later - for Paypal to refund my money to me. Trying to contact someone to get to the bottom of the problem is like having to jump through flaming hoops into brick walls monkeys pelt you with rotten fruit. Yes, it is THAT bad. Paypal's "contact us" system is especially designed to make damn sure that you DON"T get to contact anyone.
