Quick, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion!
📝 Ingredients:
1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp butter (divided)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
🍽️ Step by Step:
1️⃣ Prepare the Shrimp:
Peel and devein the shrimp, rinse under cold water, and pat dry with a paper towel. Dry shrimp sear better and absorb flavors more efficiently.
2️⃣ Heat the Skillet:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. The olive oil prevents the butter from burning while adding a creamy richness.
3️⃣ Sauté Garlic:
Once the butter melts and the mixture is hot, add minced garlic.
Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden.
4️⃣ Cook the Shrimp:
Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
5️⃣ Finish the Sauce:
Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
Toss shrimp in the sauce to coat evenly, allowing the butter to melt and the lemon juice to add a tangy brightness.
6️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
💡 TIPS:
🔹 Pair with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
🔹 Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
🔹 Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
