LEMON BUTTER SHRIMP
Here is your easy Lemon Butter Shrimp recipe. One of our favorites for a busy weeknight when we want a nice dinner but we want it to be quick and easy to get on the table. If you want more flavors than just lemon and butter just poke around in your fridge and pantry for some ideas. We always opt for garlic but you add whatever you want, or not. Just lemon and butter works great.
Ingredients
For 2 servings
- 10 – 12 Large Shrimp
