Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Opt for fresh, medium-sized shrimp with a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are overly large or have a slimy texture.
  • Prep your shrimp properly: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for a more elegant presentation. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of citrus juices, garlic, herbs, and spices enhances their flavor and tenderness. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the shrimp at high heat: Whether you're grilling, pan-frying, or sautéing the shrimp, use high heat to quickly cook them and prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, avoid overcrowding the pan or grill to ensure even cooking. Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the shrimp with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:
