How to Make Garlic Butter Shrimp Rice
Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s bubbly and fragrant—this should take about 1-2 minutes.
Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant, around 30 seconds.
Cook the Shrimp: Toss in the peeled and deveined shrimp, cooking until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Seasoning: Drizzle in the lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve on Rice: Place the delightful shrimp mixture over a bed of fluffy cooked rice.
Garnish: Finally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp and rice for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Serve with a wedge of lemon for an extra zing.
