Royal Reds Ingredients

Method

Royal Reds Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients on your kitchen counter. Rinse the royal red shrimp under cold water to remove any impurities.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully liquefied and begins to bubble slightly.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  5. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the royal red shrimp to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the garlic butter. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  6. 6

    Season the Dish

    Squeeze the juice of both lemons over the shrimp. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

  7. 7

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the royal red shrimp hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
