How to Make Lemon Garlic Shrimp
- Gather Ingredients: Collect your shrimp, minced garlic, lemon juice, butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Having everything at hand ensures a smooth cooking experience and helps you keep the rhythm going.
- Heat Skillet: In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter along with the olive oil. Allow them to blend together until bubbly and fragrant—this should take about 1 minute.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes aromatic and starts to turn golden, making sure not to let it burn.
- Cook Shrimp: Gently place the shrimp into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until they turn pink and opaque, which should take around 3-5 minutes. Flip the shrimp halfway through for even cooking.
- Add Lemon Juice: Briefly remove the skillet from heat, and squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp. Stir gently to combine, allowing the bright citrus flavor to infuse into the dish.
- Melt Remaining Butter: Return the skillet to low heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring until melted and well mixed with the sauce.
- Serve & Garnish: Transfer your Lemon Garlic Shrimp to plates or serve directly from the skillet. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
