Shrimp Dinner Ingredients

Method

Shrimp Dinner Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat for about 1 minute until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season them with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    Flip the Shrimp

    Flip the shrimp over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.

  6. 6

    Add Butter and Lemon Juice

    Reduce the heat to low and add the butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the shrimp and let the butter melt.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
