1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons pepperoncini oil (recipe below)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons Pepperoncini juice, from the jar

¼ cup parsley, chopped

½ cup pepperoncini, finely diced

3 garlic cloves, sliced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and then add in 2 tablespoons of the pepperoncini oil and let marinate for 10 minutes.

2Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and then sauté the shrimp until they are pink and curled, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat, add to a bowl, and pour the additional pepperoncini oil over the shrimp. Add a couple tablespoons of pepperoncini juice and the chopped parsley and stir.

Pepperoncini Oil

1In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the pepperoncini and garlic, and sauté until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper, and let cool.
