I got this recipe from damndelicious and boy did it turn out amazing. I will say, that I did not use as much butter as the recipe calls for because it seemed a bit overwhelming! It took about 20 minutes to make and was so delicious! I didn't want to just eat shrimp so I cooked some angel hair pasta to go with it and BAM quick and easy gourmet dinner.
So here is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
1 stick butter (I only used half a stick)
1 1/2lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined (I don't think i used this many shrimp either, I only made enough for 2 servings)
salt and pepper
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of chicken stock
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (i'm not the biggest fan of parsley so i omitted this)
INSTRUCTIONS
(I started with boiling some water in a big pot so I could toss in the angel hair pasta when I knew the shrimp were about to be finished!)
2. Add shrimp, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
3. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Stir in chicken stock and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Stir in remaining 6 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until melted and smooth.
6. Stir in shrimp and gently toss to combine.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley leaves, if desired.
et voila! Delicious gourmet dinner
