Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Place the rosemary sprigs in the pan and stir gently to infuse the oil and butter with the rosemary's aroma.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and begin to curl. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through.
Remove the rosemary sprigs from the pan and discard them if desired.
Drizzle the shrimp with the lemon juice and toss gently to coat evenly.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, on a bed of rice, or alongside your favorite pasta.
