Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
Directions
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat until it foams, about 1 minute.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan along with the salt. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp begin to turn pink.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute more until the shrimp are completely cooked through and opaque throughout, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.
Remove the pan from heat and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and toss gently to combine everything evenly.
Divide the shrimp scampi among four plates and serve immediately alongside steamed vegetables, over fresh pasta, or with crusty bread for soaking up the buttery pan juices.
