Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen shrimp. Thaw the shrimp if frozen.
  • Clean the shrimp by removing the head, shell, and tail. You can leave the tail on if you prefer.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 15 minutes. This will help to flavor the shrimp.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the shrimp. This will give the shrimp plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 3-5 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough.
  • Drain the shrimp and transfer them to a serving bowl.
  • Make the garlic butter sauce by melting butter in a saucepan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp and serve.
