The Best One Pot Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe Ever
Description
The recipe begins by heating olive oil until shimmering and adding shrimp seasoned with salt to taste, allowing even cooking without overcooking. Fresh garlic and cubed butter are added and stirred to melt, creating a fragrant garlic butter sauce. Lemon slices and chili sauce provide fresh acidity and mild heat, adding brightness and complexity to the buttery base. The shrimp are tossed gently to evenly coat them with the sauce, maintaining tenderness and preventing toughness.
Cooked until just opaque, the shrimp are removed immediately from heat to avoid overcooking. This maintains a juicy texture. The dish’s simplicity relies on fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. It pairs well with pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables, making it a convenient meal or appetizer option for those who enjoy seafood with citrus and mild spice.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb Shrimp peeled and de-veined
- 1 tsp salt celtic sea
- ¼ cup garlic diced
- 1 ½ tbsp chili sauce
- 3 tbsp butter cut into cubes
- ¼ cup parsley diced
- 1 lemon sliced
Instructions
- In large pan, heat olive oil on medium high until shimmery.
- Add shrimp to pan.
- Season with salt if desired (if using salted butter, you'll want to wait until the butter has been added to taste the sauce and make sure it's not too salty).
- Toss shrimp to prevent sticking, and cook evenly.
- Add garlic and butter and stir.
- When garlic is soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes with occasional stirring to prevent burning, add lemons and chili paste and stir to mix.
- Toss to coat shrimp evenly with chili and butter sauce.
- When shrimp is just opaque and no longer grey, it is cooked. Do not overcook!
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over pasta, rice, vegetables, or on it's own!
