Servings: 4
Skill Level: Intermediate
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- Start by preheating your sous vide machine to 135°F (57°C).
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to ensure they are fully coated with the marinade.
- Place the shrimp in a vacuum-seal bag or a resealable ziplock bag in a single layer. Add the lemon slices on top of the shrimp.
- Seal the bag using the vacuum-seal method or by using the water displacement method for ziplock bags.
- Submerge the bag into the preheated sous vide water bath and cook for 35 minutes.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the shrimp from the bag and discard the lemon slices.
- Serve the shrimp over a bed of rice or pasta, garnishing with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy the bursts of flavor and aroma as you take each bite!
Helpful Tips:
- For a more robust flavor, marinate the shrimp for an additional 30 minutes before sealing.
- If you don’t have a sous vide machine, you can recreate this recipe by cooking the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Feel free to substitute herbs with basil and cilantro for a different flavor profile.
Storage Instructions:
- Store any leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat to avoid overcooking.
Pairings:
- This shrimp dish pairs beautifully with a light green salad or steamed vegetables.
- For drinks, a cool glass of iced tea or sparkling water with a lemon twist complements this dish perfectly.
