An amazing flavor combination of garlicky, buttery goodness - so elegant and easy to make in 20 min or less!

Provided by Chungah Rhee

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chicken stock
Juice of 1 lemon, or more, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in remaining 6 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until melted and smooth. Stir in shrimp and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley leaves, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. Medium or small shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp and make them more flavorful.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs. This will help to infuse the shrimp with flavor and keep them moist during cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides. Garlic shrimp can be served with rice, pasta, salad, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Garlic shrimp is a quick and easy seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great appetizer or party food. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful dish that will impress your family and friends.
