Equipment

Dutch oven
Knife
Cutting board
Measuring spoons
Stirring Spoon

Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat your Dutch oven over medium heat on the stovetop.
Add the butter to the Dutch oven and let it melt completely.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic to the pot. Sauté the garlic until it's fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shrimp to the Dutch oven, spreading them out evenly. Season with sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink, then flip them over and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Pour in the lemon juice and stir the shrimp to coat them in the garlic butter sauce.
Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp, giving it another quick stir to distribute the herbs.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and high-quality unsalted butter.

Adjust the level of heat to your preference by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
