Scale
  • 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, allowing it to foam and bubble slightly.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Now add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper, ensuring they sizzle upon contact.
  4. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color.
