Grab some shrimp

Instructions

  1. Prep shrimp:
    • Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook garlic:
    • In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add garlic (and red pepper flakes if using) and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Cook shrimp:
    • Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Finish:
    • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over shrimp and toss to coat.
    • Garnish with chopped parsley.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve immediately over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter.

💡 Tips & Variations:

  • Add a splash of white wine to the pan while cooking shrimp for extra flavor.
  • Toss with cooked pasta and Parmesan for a creamy garlic shrimp pasta.
  • For a spicy kick, mix in a little smoked paprika or Cajun seasoning.

If you like, I can also give you a shrimp foil packet version — super easy, minimal cleanup, and packed with garlic-butter flavor.
