How To Make garlic butter shrimp

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium/medium high heat.

Step 2

Add the shrimp, sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes; turning halfway through the cooking process. Cook until they are slightly pink with red tails and opaque flesh.
Step 3

Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds; stirring continuously. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Step 4

NOTES The cayenne pepper and the crushed red pepper add just a touch of heat. If you prefer no heat omit and substitute 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
