This Pan Seared Shrimp recipe comes together for a quick and easy meal. All you need are a few ingredients to make this simple pan sauteed shrimp. It’s fresh, juicy, and has the perfect irresistible crust.
Add the shrimp to a bowl with the brown sugar, lime zest, chipotle powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Pre-heat a cast iron skillet for 2-3 minutes over medium heat with the olive oil.
Add the shrimp to the cast iron skillet in a single layer. Sear for around 2 minutes per side. The shrimp should be opaque by the end. Sear in two batches if your skillet is not large enough to hold all of the shrimp.
