My goal for the recipe box here at My Organized Chaos is to share not only new recipes that I recently fall in love with, but easy tried-and-true go to’s that my whole family enjoys. Time and after time and through the years.
When my fellow foodie group of bloggers and I set out to feature our favourite ‘garlic’ recipes this week, I immediately knew which recipe I’d make. Garlic Shrimp!
Garlic Shrimp is never made without garlic in this house, it just isn’t the same without! As well, it’s easy and takes only minutes – we all got to appreciate that! Yet, I’ve been asked a few times how I make my garlic shrimp. Truth is, it’s made by memory and I don’t even have it written down for myself. So, after writing it down for a couple of friends recently, I thought that perhaps others could use it too. That’s where you come in!
Basically, it’s only a few ingredients: shrimp {you can use cooked but I prefer the large uncooked}, garlic, butter, fresh parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
I cook mine on a frying pan on the stove, yes, the shrimp bathes in buttery goodness.
Garlic Shrimp can be served as a side, say, with steak. Mmm. Yet, I also make this as a topping over fettucini alfredo, and there you have Garlic Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo!
So good! Enjoy!
- large shrimp peeled and deveined {I buy the frozen bags at the grocer, which are 400g-500g bags}
- 6-7 tablespoons butter
- 4 to 6 medium cloves garlic crushed and minced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
-
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add both the shrimp and the garlic. Sauté over medium heat, turning frequently, until the shrimp turn pink, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Next add the parsley, salt and pepper. Stir well for about 1-2 minutes.
-
Remove the pan from heat and serve immediately.
