This succulent Garlic Butter Shrimp is perfect as an appetizer or as a full meal! It\u2019s also extremely quick and easy to make and ready in less than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
The shrimp are lovingly pan-fried in an amazing garlicky butter, with a hint of heat from red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u25a22 tablespoons olive oil<\/p>\n
\u25a24 tablespoons butter (unsalted)<\/p>\n
\u25a21 pound shrimp (large or jumbo, shelled)<\/p>\n
\u25a2\u00bc teaspoon salt (or to taste)<\/p>\n
\u25a26 cloves garlic (minced)<\/p>\n
\u25a2\u00bd teaspoon red pepper flakes<\/p>\n
\u25a23 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)<\/p>\n
\u25a2\u00bc cup fresh parsley (chopped)<\/p>\n
Cook the shrimp: Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large skillet, over medium high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink.<\/p>\n
Season with salt. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes.<\/p>\n
Add garlic: Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for about 30 seconds or until aromatic. Do not burn.<\/p>\n
Finish the shrimp: Stir in the remaining butter, lemon juice and parsley. Turn off the heat. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n

When buying fresh shrimp, it should not have a fishy smell.<\/p>\n
Fresh shrimp, like other seafood, should smell clean, like saltwater, or the sea.<\/p>\n
Press the body of the shrimp with your finger. If your finger leaves an indentation, that shrimp isn\u2019t fresh.<\/p>\n
Never thaw shrimp on the counter as this can be dangerous, always thaw it in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
Freshly cooked shrimp is really at it\u2019s best when served immediately, but is perfectly fine in the fridge for up to 2-3 days in an airtight container.<\/p>\n
Allow cooked shrimp to cool completely before placing in airtight freezer bags or containers, and store up to 3-4 months.<\/p>\n
When ready to use, take them directly from the freezer to your pan for reheating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
