Lemon-Garlic Shrimp (With Video)

Lemon-garlic shrimp is bursting with flavor, truly better than any restaurant. A one-skillet meal, made in just 20 minutes, this is a recipe you are not going to want to pass up. A silky lemon butter sauce is served over these succulent shrimp, cooked just right. Perfect to be served on a bed of steamed vegetables or pasta.

I grew up in east coast states that are plentiful with fresh seafood. Unfortunately, growing up I always had an aversion to seafood.

As an adult who now lives in Phoenix, which is nowhere near fresh seafood, I am working on changing that.

You may have noticed that there was not one seafood recipe on our site (until now). Well...  I am working on improving that too!

The seafood mission all started at my kitchen table (where most great conversations happen in this house), one Saturday night.

Chad (my husband) and his best friend were talking about seafood and I told Chad just to go to the store and buy some shrimp, and I will figure it out. I had never cooked seafood either.

That night Chad found out that our local grocery store sells Texas Gulf shrimp, which is about as close to home as I am going to get. At least until I go back to Florida to visit next month. That said, expect a lot of yummy seafood recipes this summer.

Although I have now made a few shrimp dishes, this has to be the easiest and most delicious so far. Prepared in a skillet in just 20 minutes, this recipe calls for a handful of ingredients that you probably already have on hand!

Succulent garlicky shrimp in a lemon butter sauce that is made in just 20 minutes. It is so good Chad was picking it out of the pan before I could get dinner served. Maybe "serves 6" is a bit of a stretch. He could have eaten the whole pan!

Helpful Tips to make Lemon-Garlic Shrimp:

• This recipe cooks so quickly, you want to make sure you prep the ingredients before you turn on the stove. Trust me on this one!
• This recipe is excellent on pasta or with fresh veggies.

What you will need to make Lemon-Garlic Shrimp:

• Large Skillet- I have had this pan since 2006. It is my go-to large skillet. It heats evenly and quickly. The stainless steel cleans up beautifully with a little baking soda so they still look brand new.

Enjoy!
