Why It Hits
- Crazy fast — just reheat, not cook
- Big flavor — garlic + butter = no misses
- Versatile — pasta, rice, tacos, or solo
- Low prep — already peeled, deveined, ready to go
Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen cooked white shrimp (peeled & deveined, thawed)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional heat)
- Salt + cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Let’s Cook
1. Thaw + Dry
Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or quickly under cold running water.
Pat dry well—this helps the butter sauce cling instead of slide off.
2. Build the Base
Heat oil + butter in a pan over medium heat.
Add garlic and let it gently sizzle (not burn).
3. Warm the Shrimp
Add shrimp, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Heat for 2–3 minutes, just until warmed through.
They’re already cooked—this is a quick reheat, not a full cook.
4. Bright Finish
Hit it with lemon juice and toss.
Finish with fresh parsley.
5. Serve Immediately
Plate it hot. Don’t wait.
Butter sauce is best right away.
