One pan Italian Sauteed Shrimp,  just five ingredients makes this a quick and easy shrimp recipe. The perfect anytime dinner idea.

I love going to those steak houses in Canada and eating those huge shrimp with cocktail sauce. Or a get together, well I am the first one looking for one of those shrimp rings.

To tell the truth, when I am back home I still think that way. But here there are no shrimp rings with cocktail sauce, but there are shrimp.

The first time I had Sautéed Shrimp was when I was newly married, and my husband and I were invited to our very good friends’ house for dinner.

I knew I was in for something tasty, since she is such an amazing cook. And she didn’t let me down. Naturally I was in the kitchen watching and making notes of every step.

How to make Sauteed Shrimp

  • In a large pan add olive oil, garlic cook for approximately 30 seconds, then add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt and chopped parsley.

  • Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes or until shrimp is pink and opaque. Stirring often. Serve immediately.

Can you use frozen shrimp?

Peeled, frozen or fresh shrimp are all perfect for this seafood recipe. If you use frozen, place the shrimp in a colander and  rinse under cold water, this will thaw them enough for cooking.

I even use unpeeled shrimp sometimes and you can call it the Italian Peel and Eat version!

      Now this is something I can get behind! We sometimes cook shrimp, usually lightly in garlic butter, not too much different to this 🙂

        Hi Scott, thanks, I’m sure it is really good with butter, you should try it sometime with olive oil.
