Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s nice and hot, add the butter. Let it melt and get bubbly.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the butter. Stir it around and let the garlic cook for about 1 minute, just until it becomes fragrant—don’t let it burn!
- Now, it’s time to toss in the shrimp! Cook them for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Then flip them over and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper as they cook. Squeeze that fresh lemon juice all over, which will brighten up the dish.
- Once the shrimp are fully cooked, remove them from heat. Sprinkle the fresh parsley on top for a nice touch of color and flavor.
This dish is incredibly satisfying on its own or served over a bed of fluffy rice or pasta. You could even pair it with some fresh bread to soak up all that garlic goodness. Enjoy the burst of flavors, and don’t forget to share with loved ones!
