Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine seafood snack that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at midnight like a guilty pleasure! I discovered this recipe during one of my late-night cooking adventures (because who actually sleeps at normal hours anymore?), and let me tell you – it’s become my go-to when those seafood cravings hit.
Let’s make some Crispy Garlic Butter Shrimp Bites! 🍤✨
Ladies and gents, this recipe is so good, you might want to make extra because trust me, they disappear FAST. And yes, I’m speaking from experience after my husband “tested” half the batch before I could even plate them!
What you’ll need (shopping list time!):
– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (frozen is fine, we’re not judging!)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced (or more, I won’t tell)
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Red pepper flakes (optional, but live a little!)
– Fresh parsley, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 lemon
– French bread for dipping (because that garlic butter sauce is liquid gold)
Now, let’s get cooking, bestie!
1. Pat those shrimp dry like they’re coming out of a spa treatment. Season with salt and pepper.
1. In a large skillet (you know, that one you got as a wedding gift), melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.
1. Add garlic and red pepper flakes – let them dance together until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
1. Add shrimp in a single layer (don’t crowd them, they need their personal space!). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn that gorgeous pink color.
1. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with parsley.
