Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)

  • 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3⁄4 cups shallot (minced)

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Parsley for topping (optional)

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add shrimp and cook each side for 1 minute, or until they turn pink throughout. Remove from pan.
