Recipe- Perfect For Dinner Garlic Butter Shrimp

Garlic butter shrimp is juicy, flavorful, and the perfect weeknight meal. A simple combination of melted butter, minced garlic and lemon juice, this easy recipe only takes 10 minutes to make (yes, just 10 minutes). When it comes to seafood, always consider the quality of the product and its source. Of course, it’s ideal to buy from a coastal shop selling fresh catches of the day. But, if you’re looking for something a bit cheaper and faster, don’t overlook the freezer section at your local market.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter (or ghee), plus more, as desired
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4-5 cloves garlic , minced
1 lemon, juiced
chopped parsley , to garnish

Method

* Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat and then stir in the garlic. Cook this for about 30 seconds.

* Add the shrimp to the skillet and season it with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp begins to turn pink.

* Take the shrimp off the heat and stir in the lemon juice. If you'd like it extra buttery, you can add more butter now as well.

* Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
