Description

๐Ÿฆ Garlic Butter Shrimp is a quick, flavorful seafood dish perfect for busy weeknights or elegant appetizers.
๐Ÿ‹ Combining zesty lemon and rich butter with fresh garlic, this recipe offers a simple yet delicious way to enjoy shrimp.


Ingredients

– 4 tablespoons butter

– 1 pound large shrimp (16-20 count), peeled, deveined, tails optional

– Salt and pepper to taste

– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

– 2-3 teaspoons minced fresh garlic

– Juice of one lemon

– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

1-First, melt the 4 tablespoons butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. This sets the stage for the flavors to blend nicely. Once the butter is ready, add the 1 pound of shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.

2-Cook the shrimp for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking. Then, add 2-3 teaspoons of minced garlic and cook for another minute to bring out its aroma.

3-Finally, stir in the juice of one lemon and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley before serving right away.

Notes

๐Ÿฆ Use large shrimp like extra jumbo (16-20 per pound) for best texture and flavor.
๐Ÿง„ Fresh minced garlic enhances the taste more than jarred garlic.
โฒ๏ธ Watch shrimp closely to avoid overcooking; done when pink and opaque.
