Garlic Butter Shrimp


  • Author: David

Ingredients

Scale

To create the perfect Garlic Butter Shrimp, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own Garlic Butter Shrimp:

  1. Melt the butter: In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Be careful not to let it burn, as this will affect the flavor of the dish.
  2. Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. This step releases the aromatic oils from the garlic, infusing the butter with its rich flavor.
  3. Cook the shrimp: Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink. Be sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add the lemon juice: Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp and stir well. The lemon juice adds a nice tangy brightness that complements the richness of the butter and garlic.
  5. Season and garnish: Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving. The parsley adds a pop of color and a hint of freshness to the dish.
