Recipe- Delicious Garlic Shrimp In Lemon Butter Sauce

Garlic shrimp in less than 15 minutes! These little guys are cooked with a light lemon butter sauce that’s just enough to drizzle on steamed veggies or a bit of rice! So easy and so delicious!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
6-8 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon caper brine
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoon butter, cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste

Method

- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and red pepper flakes and allow the spice to infuse into the oil for 30 seconds.

- Add the shrimp to the pan and spread it out so it cooks evenly. Cook for about 1 minute flipping as needed. Add the garlic, lemon juice, and caper brine to the skillet and let cook for 1 minute.

- Add 1/2 of the parsley along with the cubes of butter and swirl the pan so butter starts to melt slowly, about 2-3 minutes. As the butter melts it should start forming a thick type of sauce.

- Add the remaining parsley and stir to combine. The shrimp should be opaque and cooked through. If the sauce starts to thicken too much, you can remove the shrimp to a serving dish and add a teaspoon of water to help thin it out to a pourable consistency.

- Keep in mind that this recipe creates just enough sauce to coat the shrimp but it is flavorful enough to serve with rice or pasta tossed in olive oil.
