It's primarily intended as an appetizer, but I often serve this as a light main dish, tossed into some cooked fettuccine noodles to make a fuller meal. Shrimp and prawns are interchangeable in this recipe, but I listed shrimp first as it's much more commonly found here in the Pacific Northwest.

Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet, sauté the garlic in butter until translucent.
- 2. Add the shrimp and salt. Toss to coat the shrimp with butter/garlic, and cook just until the shrimp are pink, approximately 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice.
- 3. Arrange the cooked shrimp on a plate. Stir the pan juices and pour over the shrimp.
- 4. NOTE: When I serve Garlic Shrimp as an appetizer, I usually leave the tails on (makes it easier for guests to serve themselves). But I remove the tails when serving Garlic Shrimp as a main dish.

hassan.m50@yahoo.comI followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out overcooked. I think it would be better to cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
