EASY GARLIC SHRIMP



Easy Garlic Shrimp image

Easy enough to whip up on a week night. I serve with broccoli on the side. Makes enough sauce to even use with the broccoli. Makes a wonderful, quick, easy meal that looks like it took a long time to make. Could also be used as an appetizer. (I use Tony Chachers Original Seasoning for the Creole seasoning.)

Provided by Nikki C.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
2 teaspoons garlic (fresh minced or use refrigerated)
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
to taste- creole seasoning (I use Tony Chachers Original seasoning)

Steps:

  • Heat Oil and butter in large skillet.
  • Add garlic and then shrimp.
  • Add Creole Seasoning such as Tony Chachers Seasoning -to taste.
  • Cook until shrimp turn pink. Probably only 3 or 4 mins depending on the size of the shrimp.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and steaming instead of searing.
  • Season the shrimp well: Garlic, salt, and pepper are all classic seasonings for shrimp. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This garlic shrimp recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy meal. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful garlic sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the shrimp with rice, pasta, or vegetables for a complete meal.
