Ingredients:
1 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined (reserve shells)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, sliced thinly 2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 fresh lemon
2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
Lemon slices, for garnish
Rice, as accompaniment
Directions:
Put the shrimp on a large pie pan or plate and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced.
Place shells in a sauce pan with a little water and simmer until the water is half reduced.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the butter and oil to the skillet. When the foaming subsides, raise the heat to high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the pan so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, for 1 minute. Turn the shrimp over and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
Add the onions to the pan and saute just until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and stock, and reduce by 2/3, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp back to the pan and swirl in the butter. Finish with the parsley and check for seasoning. Garnish with lemon slices and serve over rice or pasta.
