Garlic Butter Shrimp is one of my favorite easy go-to meals. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare and I can customize the amount, making just one for myself or 4 for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp , raw and peeled and patted dry
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes , halved
- 4-5 garlic cloves , minced
- 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley , roughly chopped
- coarse sea salt & ground black pepper
Directions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. If the skillet isn't cast iron or non-stick, then give it a quick spritz of non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the raw shrimp, cooking for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on size. Cook until the shrimp are slightly opaque and the tails curl.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, garlic, parsley and tomatoes. Stir until melted, approximately 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve over quinoa, pasta, rice or anything else you love.
