  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

    • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
    • Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.
  4. Combine and Serve:
    • Once the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl.
    • Pour the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.

    • Serve immediately, optionally over a bed of rice or with lemon wedges on the side.

 


Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
  • Ensure the shrimp are patted dry before seasoning to achieve optimal texture.
