A delightful and easy-to-make shrimp recipe with a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Peel and devein the shrimp, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Drying the shrimp helps them sear better and prevents excess moisture in the pan.
Mince the garlic and chop the parsley finely.
Use a sharp knife for even chopping and to preserve the herbs' flavor.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
Avoid browning the butter unless you want a nutty flavor.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the shrimp hot with your choice of side dish.
Pair with crusty bread or pasta to enjoy the sauce.
