Lemon Pepper Shrimp

Lemon Pepper Shrimp showcases medium-sized shrimp coated in a seasoned flour blend, then pan-seared to a crisp golden brown. The shrimp are finished with fresh lemon zest and juice, offering a bright citrus tang balanced with subtle garlic and onion notes. This method delivers shrimp with a slightly crispy exterior and tender interior, making it suitable for a light dinner or appetizer. The use of both butter and olive oil enriches the flavor and texture.
