Method

Preparation of Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

Preparation of Golden Yolk Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Gradually whisk in the butter, piece by piece, until the sauce is thick and creamy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.

  3. 5

    Combine Shrimp and Sauce

    Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the golden yolk sauce. Gently toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the sauce.
