Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient | Grams |
|---|---|---|
| 2 tbsp | olive oil | 27 g |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced | 6 g |
| 1/2 tsp | black pepper | 1 g |
| 1/2 tsp | salt | 3 g |
| 1 lb | raw shrimp, peeled | 454 g |
| 3 tbsp | unsalted butter | 42 g |
| 3 cups | mushrooms, sliced | 210 g |
Steps
- Sear. Pat the protein dry and season with the salt and pepper. Sear in the oil until browned and done.
- Side. Cook the mushrooms until tender (for mash, boil the cauliflower 10 minutes and blend with the butter).
- Sauce. Add the garlic and remaining fat or cream to the pan and scrape up the browned bits.
- Serve. Spoon the pan sauce over the shrimp with the mushrooms.
Fat and browned bits carry the flavour while the vegetables keep net carbs low.
A dry surface is the key to browning. Wet meat steams.
Done when: Chicken 165°F (74°C); pork 145°F (63°C); steak 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
Fixes
- Sauce split?
- Whisk in a spoon of hot water off the heat.
- Mash watery?
- Steam instead of boiling.
Variations: Add herbs or chili.
Keeps: 3 days.
