Garlic Butter Shrimp

Begin the easy recipe by generously seasoning the 1 1/2 pounds raw shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.

Using a large skillet or braiser over medium-high heat, add 4 tablespoons butter and allow it to melt and become slightly foamy. Saute the shrimp in the butter for about 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp begins to turn light pink.

To the same skillet, add in the 5 cloves minced garlic stirring frequently until fragrant. Stir in the 1/4 cup chicken broth and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and bring to a low boil.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter until melted and smooth.

Gently toss the shrimp to coat in the butter-garlic mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while still warm with some crusty bread to dip in the sauce. Enjoy!
