Lemon Garlic Shrimp

Originally from Shutterbean (LOCAL)

This is pretty easy and really good.

Ingredients

~1/3 to 1/2 stick (2-2/3 to 4 Tbsp) unsalted butter
1 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves) or more
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp Kosher salt plus more for the shrimp
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 large lemon
1 to 1.5 pounds shrimp, peeled with the tails on

Directions

1. Melt butter on low heat
2. Add olive oil, garlic, red pepper, salt & pepper to the butter.
3. Cook on low heat for one minute. Remove from heat
4. Zest the lemon into the butter
5. Tightly arrange shrimp and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Make sure all shrimp are touching the pan.
6. Pour butter mixture over the shrimp.
7. Thinly slice lemon and place on shrimp
8. Bake on 400°F for 10-13 minutes until just no longer pink.

Tips

• Shrimp does not get waterlogged easily. You can defrost it from frozen in moving cold water for about five minutes.
• Follow the directions on laying flat and then covering rather than mixing it all. They tend to cook better that way and you can mix it all later

Changes

• 2018-09-17: 1/3-1/2 butter. Added tip about laying flat. Changed 12-15 min to 10-13
• 2018-05-01: Original copy with 1/2 butter + oil, less shrimp, and more garlic
