Homemade Garlic Butter Shrimp
If you prefer to use fresh shrimp, I wanted to share this garlic butter shrimp recipe with you all. You will need the following ingredients for 1 1/2 pounds of medium size shrimp.
  • 1 1/2 lbs. medium size shrimp
  • 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 4 cloves of minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of minced parsley
  • 1/4 cup of dry white wine
  • 1/8 tsp of red pepper flakes or ground black pepper *depending on tastes
Make it:
Peel, and remove tails from shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel(s) to absorb excess moisture.
Add olive oil and butter to a large sized skillet.
Add in wine, and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Place shrimp in the pan, season with pepper, and cook until no longer translucent, and pink.
Remove pan from heat and add in the chopped parsley; mix. Set shrimp and juices aside for the recipe.
