Garlic shrimps with provencale mayonnaise

Garlic shrimps with provençale mayonnaise is a delightful dish that brings the flavors of the Mediterranean to your table. The combination of buttery garlic shrimp and a rich, herby mayo makes for a perfect starter or main course that is both simple to prepare and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
32 oz shrimps
910g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
2 cups mayonnaise
460g
2 tbsp olives
30g
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Provençale Mayonnaise:
- In a medium bowl, combine the 2 cups of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped olives, and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Prepare the Shrimp:
- In a large skillet, melt the 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and chopped red chili peppers. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic starts to become fragrant, but not browned.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink.
- Flip the shrimp and add the finely chopped basil leaves to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and opaque.
- Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the shrimp and give it a quick toss to ensure everything is mixed well.
3. Serve:
- Arrange the garlic shrimp on a serving platter.
- Serve with a side of Provençale mayonnaise for dipping.

Tips:

- Ensure the shrimps are deveined and cleaned thoroughly before cooking.

- For a spicier kick, leave the seeds in the chili peppers. For a milder version, remove the seeds.

- Use fresh basil and parsley for the best flavor, as dried herbs can lack the vibrancy of fresh ones.

- To avoid overcooking, watch the shrimps closely and remove them from heat as soon as they turn pink and opaque.

- Let the mayonnaise mixture sit for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Serve the shrimp immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their freshest. Pair with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.

Garlic shrimps with provençale mayonnaise is a crowd-pleaser that promises a taste of the Mediterranean in every bite. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet meal at home, this dish is sure to impress with its rich flavors and delightful combination of ingredients.
