Equipment
- Large skillet stainless steel, nonstick, or cast iron
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (21/30) peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon old bay seasoning
- pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Dry shrimp on a paper towel or a clean hand towel. Carefully dry both sides of the shrimp. This will give you a better sear.
- Transfer the dried shrimp to a large bowl. Add the old bay seasoning and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly.
- Heat a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan.
- Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add half of the shrimp to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for 1 ½ minutes, then carefully flip the shrimp to the other side.
- Cook for an additional minute and a half or until the shrimp is no longer translucent. Do not overcook the shrimp!
- Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Enjoy immediately!
