Garlic Butter Shrimp
Patricia @ ButterYum
Here's a super delicious shrimp dish that you can have on the table in about 10 minutes. The recipe takes advantage of dried herbs, but you can certainly use fresh if you have them. Be sure to serve with plenty of crusty bread to sop up all the flavorful sauce.
Garlic Butter Shrimp
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 pound 34-40 count peeled, tail-on shrimp, thawed and patted dry
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1-2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat canola oil until it shimmers.
Cook half the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side (shrimp should be pink, but don't have to be cooked the whole way through yet).
Remove first batch of shrimp from skillet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
Remove second batch of shrimp from pan and add granulated garlic; whisk quickly and constantly for 10-20 seconds until the garlic smells fragrant.
Immediately add the chicken stock and parsley flakes; whisk to deglaze the pan and break up any clumps of granulated garlic.
Whisk in butter and season with salt and pepper; remove from heat.
Return shrimp to the pan for 30-60 seconds, turning to coat with the pan sauce. Makes 2 servings.
