And here’s how to quickly and easily cook up your Garlic Butter Shrimp
If your shrimp are frozen just put them in a bowl of water to thaw while you get things going. Put a skillet on at medium high and add the butter.
Pat the shrimp dry and add them to the skillet. Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon on the shrimp.
When the skillet side of the shrimp have turned pink turn the shrimp over and add the garlic.
Stir the garlic a few times as it cooks and when the shrimp are red on the outside and white in the middle serve up your Garlic Butter Shrimp with a wedge of lemon. Enjoy!
We had a Caprese Salad, french fries from the air frier, Poppop’s No Knead Bread and some Pinot Grigio with ours.
Now wasn’t that quick and easy?
