Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, fresh)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam but does not brown.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until they turn pink and opaque about halfway up.
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly and allow the flavors to meld for 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish and sprinkle with paprika (optional) for a pop of color.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the flavorful butter sauce.
