Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Thoroughly rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the shrimp with the butter and seasoning mixture. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  3. 5

    Add Lemon Juice

    Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for a fresh flavor.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish, drizzle with any remaining butter sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
