There’s nothing quite like a quick and easy clementine skillet shrimp recipe to satisfy your seafood cravings. And when you add a bright and citrusy clementine sauce, you’re in for a real treat.
To start, heat a skillet over medium heat, then warm the oil. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the clementine juice, lemon juice, clementine zest, red pepper flakes and parsley. Cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 6 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the sauce, then season with salt & pepper. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through.
Arrange the shrimp on a platter with the clementine slices and lemon wedges. Pour the remaining sauce over everything.
The final result will be a platter of succulent shrimp bursting with the sweet and tangy flavors of clementine. And with a sprinkle of parsley and a kick of pepper flakes, the dish is brought to life with fresh, vibrant flavors. We also highly recommend a loaf of crusty bread for dipping in the extra sauce.
Serve this easy skillet shrimp recipe as a main course or as an appetizer at your next gathering – either way, it’s sure to be a hit.
