Ingredients

• 2 pound extra large shrimp; peeled, deveined
• salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Step 1

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1
tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.
Cook half of shrimp without moving until spotty brown on one side, about
one minute; transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining oil and shrimp.

Melt one tablespoon butter in empty skillet over medium heat. Add garlic
and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in clam juice and any
accumulated shrimp juices, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to boil and
cook until sauce is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Return shrimp to skillet and cook, covered, over medium-low heat until
shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Off heat, stir in cilantro,
scallions, hot sauce and remaining butter. Serve.
