Garlic Butter Shrimp

Ingredients

• Large Shrimp (Black Tiger or Baiwei shrimp recommended)
• Salted-free Butter (Anchor brand recommended)
• Garlic
• White Wine (optional)
• Lemon
• Frying Pan
• Kitchen Tongs

Steps

1. Dehead and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Use a toothpick to remove the digestive tract (vein), wash clean, and pat dry with kitchen paper.
2. Minced the garlic and set aside.
3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 10ml of olive oil.
4. Add the shrimp to the hot oil and pan-fry each side for 1-1.5 minutes until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.
5. Add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the garlic and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
6. If using white wine, add it at this point and simmer until the alcohol evaporates (about 1 minute).
7. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss with the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated (about 1 minute).
8. Squeeze in lemon juice and toss well. Turn off the heat immediately.
9. Plate the shrimp and drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top.
