Method

GF Bar Favorites

  1. 1

    Make the blackening spice blend

    In a small bowl, whisk together paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper to form the blackening spice blend.

  2. 2

    Prep the shrimp

    Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Marinate/coat the shrimp

    Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with half of the spice blend and toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Melt butter and coat the pan

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the unsalted butter and swirl to coat the pan.

  5. 5

    Sear the shrimp

    Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Sear 1–2 minutes on each side until pink and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Finish with remaining spice

    Sprinkle the remaining spice blend over the shrimp in the pan and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 30–60 seconds to meld flavors.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Taste and adjust with a pinch more salt or lemon juice if desired. Remove from heat and serve hot, suitable as a GF bar-friendly starter or topping.
