Lemon Garlic Shrimp

​

I make this often and yet this is the best picture I could find.  My family loves this so much and it couldn't be easier to make. Often, I just have it to serve along whatever other meats I made with dinner but it's also really good in pasta or over rice.  

​

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. deveined peeled shrimp

• 1 tbsp. butter and tbsp. olive oil

• 1-2 cloves crushed garlic

• 1 lemon juiced

• zest of one lemon

• 1 tsp. Slap yo mama or red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:​

• heat a frying pan to medium high heat add the butter and olive oil until the butter is melted.

• add the garlic lemon juice and zest

• add the shrimp and toss in the juices

• cook 5-8 minutes until the shrimp is pink and plump

 

Watch the pan for shrimp grabbers they will come before it's even dinner time.
