Step-by-Step Instructions for Pan Seared Chimichurri Shrimp
- Finely chop fresh parsley, garlic, and Fresno pepper. In a bowl, combine these with dried oregano, salt, and fresh ground pepper. Slowly mix in olive oil and red wine vinegar. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- Peel and devein jumbo shrimp. In a separate bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, honey, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 20 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet over high heat for about 3-4 minutes. Add olive oil, swirling it to coat. Ensure the oil shimmers but does not smoke.
- Carefully place the marinated shrimp in the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until opaque and slightly charred.
- Transfer the shrimp onto a serving dish and coat generously with the chimichurri sauce. Drizzle any remaining sauce on top.

Notes
For best results, hand-chop garlic and herbs, and allow chimichurri to sit longer for enhanced flavor.
