Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and red pepper.
- Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large skillet, melt half of the butter (55g) over medium-high heat.
- Add half of the minced garlic (30g) to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the coated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and slightly golden. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Repeat the process with the remaining butter and garlic, followed by cooking the remaining batch of shrimp.
- Using the same skillet, add the lemon slices and cook for about 1 minute on each side until they are slightly caramelized.
- Return all the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them gently with the lemon slices to coat them in the butter and garlic mixture.
- Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter, making sure to pour any excess garlic lemon butter sauce from the skillet over the shrimp.
- Garnish with additional lemon slices or fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure to devein the shrimp for a cleaner presentation and taste.
- Pat the shrimp dry before coating them in flour to ensure a crispy texture.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust the red pepper according to your spice preference.
- Don't overcook the shrimp; they only need a few minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
- Minced garlic works best to ensure even distribution in the sauce.
- For added richness, consider using clarified butter in the sauce.
