Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe

This is one of the best tasting seafood dish that is very easy to prepare and very easy to find.

Today I’ll share how to prepare it with a little twist.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds shrimp (It is optional if you want it peeled)
• 7 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 ½ cup lemon soda (I recommend 7-up)
• Shrimp bouillon
• 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
• Black pepper to taste
• A dash of chili powder (optional)

Steps:

• Soak the shrimp in lemon soda for about 15 minutes.
• Turn the heat on and melt the butter in a cooking pan.
• As it melts add the garlic in and cook until it turns light brown.
• Pour the soda from the shrimp to the pan.
• Turn the heat up and add the bullion.
• Let the soda evaporate until it becomes a thick caramel sauce.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add in the shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes max.
• Turn the heat off, add a dash of pepper and mix in the parsley.
• (Optional) If you want it with a little kick, add a dash of chilli powder.
• Transfer to a serving plate, BEST SERVED WITH ICE COLD BEER!

Notes:

 Do not exceed the 5 minute cooking time for the shrimp, Overcooking will cause it to lose much of its nutritional value and makes the shrimp shrink.
