Garlic shrimps

Garlic shrimp is a delectable and straightforward dish that combines succulent shrimp with the rich flavors of garlic, butter, and olive oil. Perfect for a quick dinner or as a delightful appetizer, this recipe is sure to impress your guests while requiring minimal effort in the kitchen.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup olive oil
80g
1/3 cup butter
70g
2 garlic cloves
6g
32 oz shrimps
910g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- If not already done, peel and devein the shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
2. Heat the Pan:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Cook the Garlic:
- Add the minced garlic to the hot oil. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Add the Butter:
- Add the butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt completely, blending with the olive oil and garlic.
5. Cook the Shrimp:
- Once the butter has melted, add the shrimp to the skillet. Spread them out in a single layer, ensuring they cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque with a slight golden edge.
6. Season and Serve:
- Optionally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the garlic shrimp hot. They can be enjoyed as they are or used as a topping for pasta, rice, or salad.

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor. If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are properly thawed and patted dry before cooking.

- Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste. If you love garlic, feel free to add more cloves.

- Don't overcook the shrimp. They should turn opaque and pink; overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.

- Feel free to add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra layer of flavor.

- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.

Garlic shrimp is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed on its own, over pasta, or with a side of steamed vegetables.
