A while back I was in search of a new recipe using shrimp. I had been using a shrimp alfredo recipe, but wanted something different. That’s when I came across this recipe for Garlic Butter Shrimp. It’s really straightforward and fairly quick to put together. For this meal, I only had 1/2 pound of small shrimp, so I halved the recipe.
Garlic Butter Shrimp
What you need:
1/4 cup butter
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley, or 1 Tbsp dried parsley
Cooked rice or pasta
How you make it:
Melt butter in a large skillet. Saute garlic and shrimp in butter until shrimp turns pink. Add in lemon juice and parsley and heat for a few minutes more. Serve over rice or pasta.
For this meal, I served it over angel hair pasta.
