Old Bay Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Old Bay Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the large shrimp with Old Bay seasoning, pickling spice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure shrimp are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the marinated shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon

    Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp. Toss to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish the shrimp with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, optionally with lemon wedges on the side.
