Stir Fry Shrimp with Lemon Aioli
Stir fried shrimp is one of my fav seafood appetizers! It’s super quick, very easy and you can change it up by adding different variety of spices every time. With zingy Lemon Aioli, this stir-fried shrimp turns into finger licking good.
Ingredients
- 1 lb medium size shrimp (shell removed, deveined and cleaned. Tail intact or removed.)
- ½ medium size red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Spice Tribe MOMBACHO CAFÉ
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon oil plus little more to brush on the hot skillet
Instructions
For the lemon aioli
- Mix mayo with lemon zest, lemon juice, dijon mustard if you have at home and 1 garlic clove, grated.
- For the pan fried shrimp
- In a mixing bowl, marinate the shrimo with the spice mix, salt, paprika and oil. Leave it aside for 15 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron pan and brush little oil.
- Fry the slcied onion for few minutes. Then take it off to a serving plate.
- Brush little oil on the same skillet and layer the shrimps. Let it cook for about 3 minutes. Then flip and cook for 3 minutes. (Keep in mind if the shrimp are very large, you will need more time and if small then less time)
- Once done, take it off and layer on top of the fried onion.
- Serve right away with the lemon aioli.
Notes
Remember to put shrimp on the pan only when the pan is hot enough or else, it will stick to the pan.
Avoid cooking shrimp for too long, as it will become rubbery and chewy.
