Lemon Garlic Shrimp
This quick and easy garlic butter shrimp recipe requires minimal planning—you simply need to grab some shrimp. That's what makes it an ideal choice for tonight's dinner. It may sound too good to be true, but trust us, it's not. You can have the entire dish ready in 15 minutes or less, and the taste is absolutely delightful. It's truly mind-boggling. We suggest opting for medium-sized shrimp and purchasing them already peeled and deveined if possible, ensuring a speedy and effortless cooking process. While it may seem obvious, make sure to buy raw shrimp instead of pre-cooked ones, as cooking pre-cooked shrimp can result in a rubbery texture.
