I love garlic, but somehow I don’t always have fresh garlic on hand when I need it. I’ll think I have some, but when I pull out a bulb it will be sprouted, or dried, or both.

On the other hand, garlic oil is always ready, and it never fails me. And while fresh garlic can be a little harsh until you cook it, roasted garlic oil is smoother, making it great when you want garlic flavor now.

Shrimp and garlic are a natural pair, and once you’ve got those two, you don’t need much more. You can add other things if you like — a little spice or the tart bite of lemon is nice. But you don’t absolutely need them.

This recipe is easy, and it takes no time at all to assemble, particularly if you buy your shrimp already cleaned.

Keep in mind that shrimp cook quickly, so don’t walk away from the stove once the shrimp hit the heat.

Easy Garlic Shrimp

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon Extravagonzo roasted garlic oil
• 8 ounces shrimp
• Black pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional)
• Lemon juice (optional)

Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the garlic olive oil. Add the shrimp, and grind on black pepper, to taste. Add the red pepper flakes if desired.

If you’re using pre-cooked shrimp, cook only long enough to warm them. For raw shrimp, cook until the shrimp are opaque throughout.

Remove the shrimp from the pan, leaving the juices behind. If the shrimp were very watery, you’ll have a thin liquid left behind. Continue cooking this until it thickens a bit and the butter just barely begins to brown. Pour this oil-spice mixture over the shrimp.

Squeeze on some lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

The simplicity of this basic preparation makes these shrimp very versatile. They’d make a great appetizer with some crusty bread to sop up the juice. Or serve them warm on top of a salad.

Even though they’re uncomplicated, these shrimp pack enough flavor to be main dish-worthy. Serve them over pasta, couscous, or rice and top them with a drizzle of extra roasted garlic oil and a sprinkling of lemon juice. Serve a fresh salad on the side, and you’ve got a nice meal.

Use frozen pre-cooked shrimp for a quick weeknight meal when you don’t have time for anything complicated. For a more elegant meal, use large fresh shrimp.

Meet Tom Stevens, creator of Extravagonzo Gourmet Foods.

There is one thing you can say about Tom Stevens–he is an entrepreneur.  Tom was a hardwood lumber broker, selling large orders of quality wood to cabinet makers.  He started the Austin chapter of HOOT (Harmonica Organization of Texas).  And, he started Extravagonzo as a music promotion company. However, changes in the housing market made Tom take a step back.

The Roasted Garlic is out of this world. Use it on anything and everything–salads, meat, popcorn, etc.  The Meyer Lemon is terrific with seafood, salads, and fruit salad.  Try the Blood Orange with beef, or take Tom’s recommendation and use it to jazz up your chocolate chip cookies.  And, the Red Chili is terrific as a dip for bread or as a base for any sauce.

All of Extravagonzo’s gourmet infused culinary oils are a mix of grapeseed and Argentina olive oil.  The grapeseed oil adds terrific health benefits – it is high in vitamin E and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.  This blend also makes this culinary oil much more versatile.
