Sweet Heat Garlic Shrimp by Flirting with Flavor

Fairytales!

Once upon a time there was a little sea animal; it’s name was Shrimp. One day Shrimp met Garlic and Butter. The three of them became the best of friends and when they were together all kinds of magic and good things happened. Then the most awesomest “Queen of Flavor” decided that these three ingredients should never be parted. Kind of like the Three Musketeers…

Then the Queen introduced the flavorful trio to Sweet Heat Sauvignon Blanc Glaze (although perhaps we should call it Dartagnan, for short), and the world almost exploded with happiness.

Or at least the taste-buds of the big monster that ate the Garlic, Butter, Shrimp and Dartagnan; almost exploded with happiness.

It has been said that happiness is a choice not a condition, and I agree to an extent. I believe it is a choice, but that sometimes circumstances make that choice seem more or less possible to make. Happiness is inside of all of us; sometimes you just need a bit of Garlic Shrimp to help you choose it. OR if you don’t like shrimp then maybe being sent on a virtual scavenger hunt can sometimes be just as cool in the game of happiness! If you’re on said virtual scavenger hunt: the word is HERE.

A Royal Garlic Shrimp Declaration

I, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Flavor” do hereby declare: All kinds of happy can come from eating these Four Musketeers. And you Dear Reader are hereby invited to be the big monster and partake in this glorious bit of taste-bud heaven.

Did I just call you a monster? I don’t mean it! If you’re reading this then that means I think you’re fabulous and wonderful and all things good. Unless you’re a liar and a cheater and a sneaky sneak; in which case I think you have VERY good taste in reading material, but you might still be a monster. However, monster or not, you should totally try this delicious Garlic Shrimp recipe.

And then we will all live Happily Ever After…

The End.

Most incredible Garlic Shrimp EVER!!! Easy fast recipe for Garlic Shrimp by Flirting with Flavor.

Or not.

Y’all remember from my Turkey recipe how I talked about the importance of brining things? Well even with seafood I find it to be important. However, unlike my Pork Rack recipe where we brine it for 24 hours; this shrimp recipe need only be in the brine for 10 minutes.

In fact, you should not let it sit in the brine for any longer than that. Also, if you are using small shrimp instead of Large or Jumbo, then drop the brining time down to 8 minutes instead of 10.

Brining or marinading or soaking the shrimp in salt water beforehand leads to such depth of flavor that you will not regret it for even a second.

Disclaimer:

A couple quick disclaimers and then we will get on to the recipe:

  • I tagged this as a 20 minute meal which is possible. However, unless you are speedy-gonzales fast at everything you do, this recipe will most likely take closer to 25 or 30 minutes.
  • Cooking with alcohol: From what I understand the alcohol burns off completely at boiling point, and we let the glaze boil for a bit. However, if you do not like alcohol and are worried about it, and to be extra safe; Open the wine the day before and leave it in your refrigerator overnight with a loose lid to let all the alcohol evaporate.

Okay y’all lets get cooking and then watch The 3 Musketeers or something equally awesome while we eat! (Insert evil monster laugh) Bwahahahaha!

    I followed through on my pregnancy craving for shrimp and made this for dinner tonight! Oh my heck, it was amazing! Tyson said it's his favorite thing I've ever made and then told me he's adding money to the food budget, so we can have it more often! We made it go further by adding asparagus and other roasted veggies. SO AMAZING!
