Garlic Shrimp Saute

Ingredients

Parsley

2 tablespoons, finely chopped

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Butter

2 tablespoons

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Shrimp

1 pound, peeled and deveined

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt and oil to heat without burning.
2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Saute for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through. Adjust the cooking time if your shrimp are particularly large or small.
4. Drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked shrimp. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
5. Sprinkle the finely chopped parsley over the shrimp. Toss to combine, ensuring the shrimp are evenly coated with the garlic, lemon juice, and seasoning.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the shrimp hot, ideally with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
