Preparation

Step 1

Prep ingredients before you begin cooking. Do not skip this step.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add garlic to skillet and cook about 1 minute. Add shrimp, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute without stirring. Continue cooking until shrimp begin turning pink (about 2-3 minutes). Remove shrimp from pan and set aside in a bowl. (They will be returned to the skillet to continue cooking).

Add lemon juice to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add remaining butter and cook until melted. Add 1/2 of parsley. Stir to combine. Add shrimp back into the pan. Stir to combine. Cook until shrimp are opaque, about 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally. Top with remaining parsley and serve with a lemon wedge if desired.

Serve over pasta or steamed vegetables and enjoy!
