INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound tail-on shrimp
- Paprika, to taste
- Sea salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons Fatworks Duck Fat
- 2 shallots, minced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1 small lemon)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup pastured heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
- 1 pound daikon or turnip, peeled & spiralized
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
STEP 2
Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the duck fat. Cook the shrimp on both sides until lightly browned, about 60 seconds per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate to rest.
STEP 3
Move the heat down to medium and add the shallots and garlic to the remaining duck fat. Saute briefly until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping any brown bits from the bottom.
STEP 4
Add the lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and heavy cream (or coconut milk). Stir well and bring to a low simmer. Add the spiralized daikon (or turnip) and cook until just softened about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and remove the pan from the heat. This simple shrimp scampi is best enjoyed immediately.
