Orange Brown Butter Shrimp
Description
Spice up your shrimp dinner with this amazing sauce. If you don't care for seafood, this sauce can be used on rice or pasta as well.
Ingredients
½ cup butter, salted or unsalted, depending on your preference
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
zest of one orange
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 lbs. raw shrimp
½ teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Heat the butter in a medium skillet over low heat. Be careful not to let it burn. When the butter is melted, add the thyme leaves. Stir and simmer, keeping the heat low, for 5 minutes or until the butter reaches a golden brown color. Remove from heat and stir in the zest. Pour the butter into a small bowl and let it rest for a few minutes.
In the same skillet, with a light coating of the butter remaining, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the raw shrimp and the chili powder; shake or toss in the pan for 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp is no longer translucent.
