Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 12 Large Shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Thinly Sliced Garlic
  • 1 Scotch Bonnet Chile, stemmed seeded and minced
  • 3/4 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Lime Juice (best if Key Lime)
  • 2 tablespoons Spanish Dry Sherry
  • 1/2 cup Coarsely Chopped Cilantro
  • 1/2 cup Coarsely Chopped Italian Parsley
  • 1 dash Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Small ripe tomato

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium - high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, flipping them once, for 2 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a warm bowl.
  • Turn the heat down to low and melt the butter. Stir in the garlic and chile and saute until fragrant for 40 to 60 seconds.
  • Turn the heat back up to medium - high. Add the chicken stock, lime juice, sherry, herbs and salt and pepper, and stir well. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes to reduce the liquid until thick enough to blend the flavors and coat the back of a spoon.
  • Gently stir in the chopped tomato and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and turn off the heat.
