Shrimp Paesano is a delicious Italian dish that originated in San Antonio, Texas.

It's a unique creation that combines the flavors of shrimp, lemon, and garlic with a creamy sauce.

Shrimp Paesano

The shrimp is first soaked in half-and-half, then coated in flour and sautéed to perfection.

It's finished off in the oven with a rich, buttery sauce that's infused with lemon and garlic.

The dish is often served with pasta or rice, and it's a favorite among seafood lovers. Just be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or you might end up with a dish that's more like "Shrimp Paesano-no."

Directions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).

Reserve some of the cream for the sauce. Soak the shrimp in the remaining cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Drain and roll the shrimp in flour, then sauté, without stirring or moving the shrimp in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Do not turn shrimp over!

Remove and place shrimp in a baking dish with the sautéd side down in a preheated oven. Broil in the oven for 5 minutes (or less, depending on the size of the shrimp).

For the sauce:

Mix the egg yolk and lemon juice with half the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted; remove from the heat.

Add garlic and the rest of the butter and stir briskly until the butter melts and the sauce thickens. (Add a small amount of ½ and ½ to thicken). Add chives and parsley.

Serve the sauce with the crispy shrimp.

So delicious!!! loved it. Made if for my boyfriend and he loved it! I just put a few panko crumbs in the four.

Adding panko breadcrumbs to the flour is brilliant!

Oh yeah, adding some panko is great advice - kicks the crunch factor up another notch. :) Nice.

We always got to Paesanos for our birthdays and anniversary and order Shrimp Paesanos. This is a good copy cat version. I also don't place in the oven. I saute on both sides which makes it crunchier. My hubby said the last time I made this he thinks it is better than what we order at Pisanos.

I have eaten this since I was a little girl at the old Paesanos. I have made it a couple of times and everyone who has had it a long time ago, like me, rave about it, including my parents. Perfect recipes.

One of my favorite foods!!! I actually got the recipe from the Chef about 40 years ago. I loved the old Paesanos when it was in that old house. I still remember how he remembered the order his customers came in. He was/is a great guy. I use to go every day when I was taking courses at SAC. The Eggplant Parm is delicious as well.
