I consider myself a pretty frugal grocery shopper. I am not an extreme couponer but I do pay attention to how much I spend on groceries. I save money by buying grocery store brand staples like cereals and granola bars but I spend a little more to get the freshest meats and seafood that I possibly can. It's all about figuring out what is most important to me and my family. When it comes to shrimp, I never buy the precooked, but I do look for shrimp that has already been deviened and butterflied. Deviening and butterflying shrimp can take up to 30 minutes which is precious time when I'm in a hurry to get dinner on the table. I adapted this recipe for Roasted Garlic Shrimp from the Jan/Feb 2013 Cook's Illustrated. As usual, I needed to get dinner on the table in a hurry so the few extra pennies that I paid for the shrimp that had already been deviened and butterflied was WELL worth it. Roasted Garlic Shrimp 1/4 cup salt 1 quart water 2 pounds shell on shrimp, butterflied 4 Tablespoons butter 6 cloves garlic 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
Add shrimp to garlic butter sauce along with parsley.
Toss shrimp into a serving bowl. If you're craving a super simple shrimp dinner, give this broiled shrimp technique a try.
Ciao!
