Ingredients:

2 yolks
33g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp mustard
5g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
32 oz shrimps
910g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Jalapeño & Lemon Aioli:
- In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, minced garlic, mustard, and lemon juice. Mix well with a whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Begin to slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. This will help to emulsify the mixture. Continue to whisk until the aioli is thick and smooth.
- Stir in the finely chopped jalapeño, if using. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate the aioli while you prepare the shrimps. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
2. Prepare the Shrimps:
- Season the peeled and deveined shrimps with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the shrimps in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimps are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
3. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked shrimps to a serving platter.
- Serve the shrimps immediately with the chilled jalapeño & lemon aioli on the side for dipping.

Tips:

- For a smoother aioli, make sure to blend the garlic cloves thoroughly before adding other ingredients.

- When cooking the shrimps, be careful not to overcook them as they can become tough and rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque.

- If you prefer a milder aioli, you can reduce the amount of jalapeno or replace it with a milder pepper.

- Serve the shrimps with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad for a complete and balanced meal.

- Make sure to pat the shrimps dry before cooking; this helps them sear better and develop a nice texture.

In conclusion, Shrimps with Jalapeno & Lemon Aioli is a fantastic dish that brings together the flavors of fresh seafood, spicy jalapenos, and citrusy lemon. It's a simple yet satisfying recipe that can be enjoyed by everyone. By following these straightforward steps, you'll be able to create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. Bon appétit!
