Garlic Butter Shrimp

Prep Shrimp

Thaw shrimp if frozen. Pat completely dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

Make Garlic Butter Sauce

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and optional red pepper flakes. Cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

Cook Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink, opaque, and curled into a 'C' shape.

Finish and Serve

Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
