Orange Brown Butter Shrimp

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

Steps

1. 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.
2. 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.
