This recipe is super easy. I've included measurements, which should be considered as suggestions. This is one of those recipes you can prepare however you like. Add more shrimp, butter or garlic, this recipe is that simple.
As with my Camarones a la Diabla, I don't peel the shrimp for this recipe. We like to suck all that buttery goodness out of the shrimp.
Camarones al Mojo de Ajo
(Garlic Shrimp)
Ingredients:
- 1 pound medium-sized shrimp
- 1/3 cup butter
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- Chopped Parsley, fresh or dried
Directions:
Heat butter in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Once butter has melted, add the garlic and onions; saute for 2 minutes. Add shrimp to skillet; season with a little salt and black pepper. Cover skillet and let the shrimp cook in the butter sauce until the shrimp turns a bright pink. Stir shrimp to make sure that it is evenly cooked. Turn of the heat.
Serve the shrimp on a plate. Spoon butter sauce over shrimp. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve over cooked spaghetti or with Mexican Rice, Hushpuppies and a green salad. Enjoy!!!
With Love,

ReplyDeleteI'm just a tad picky when it comes to seafood, can I peel my shrimp and still get the same result? Or would it completely kill the recipe?
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica!
ReplyDeleteYou will still get the same result if you peel your shrimp before cooking it. Most seafood restaurants here in my small town give you that option. :)
I used to order camarones al mojo de ajo when I lived in rural Jalisco. I love this dish and your recipe is very close to what I used to get at our local seafood place. LOVE IT! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie can you devein the shrimp? Or just leave them like that? Thank you!
