Sizzling Garlic Butter Shrimp with Lemon and Parsley

A simple yet flavorful dish that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked in a sizzling garlic butter sauce that's infused with lemon and parsley. The result is a dish that's both delicious and satisfying.

This recipe was inspired by a dish that I had at a restaurant a few years ago. I was so impressed by the flavor of the shrimp that I knew I had to try to recreate it at home. After a few experiments, I finally came up with a recipe that I think is even better than the original. The key to this dish is to use high-quality ingredients and to cook the shrimp perfectly. I recommend using wild-caught shrimp and cooking them until they're just cooked through. This will help to ensure that the shrimp are tender and juicy.

Prep time: 5 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil or avocado oil
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, ghee or additional coconut oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
3. Add the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Why It Works

• The combination of garlic, butter, lemon, and parsley creates a flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the shrimp.
• Cooking the shrimp in a hot skillet helps to sear the outside and lock in the juices.
• Adding the lemon juice and parsley at the end of the cooking process helps to brighten the flavor of the dish.
