Savory Glazed Shrimp

If you are a seafood lover, this recipe is bound to become one of your weeknight favorites: Glazed Shrimp. The depth of soy sauce, the brightness of fresh lemon, and the kick of garlic beautifully combine with premium olive oil to create a restaurant-quality dish in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

Main Ingredients:

• 500 g shrimp (peeled and deveined)

• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

• Oro di Milas olive oil

For the Glaze:

• 5 cloves garlic (crushed or minced)

• 3 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (or ground red pepper)

• Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, red pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Set aside.

2. Sear the Shrimp: Heat a generous splash of Oro di Milas olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they just turn pink.

   Tip: Keep the extra salt minimal, as soy sauce already brings plenty of saltiness to the dish.

3. Glaze the Shrimp: Pour the prepared sauce directly over the shrimp in the skillet. Lower the heat slightly and toss continuously for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce reduces into a glossy, sticky coating that beautifully glazes the shrimp.

4. Serve: Serve hot immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.
