Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound raw shrimp (Extra-large, 21–25 per pound, peeled and deveined)
- 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat: Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season: Add the shrimp, kosher salt, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Cook: Cook until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque, about 5 minutes. If using extra-large shrimp, place them on the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Cook smaller shrimp for a total of about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve on cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, or a bed of green leaves such as spinach or arugula.
Notes
Cooking chili powder over medium-high heat may create fumes; use a range hood or open a window. Adjust cayenne pepper to control the heat level. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
