HOW TO MAKE SIMPLE BUTTERY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH PARSLEY
Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the shrimps and pan-fry for about a minute.
Step 2: To taste, season the shrimps with salt. Flip and cook the other side for another minute.
Step 3: Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic. Continue to cook for a minute more before adding in the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoon of cold butter, 1/2 of the parsley, and caper brine. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Remain cooking until the butter is melted, about a minute more, and add in 1 1/2 tablespoons of cold butter. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the sauce had thickened.
Step 5: Transfer the shrimps into a serving bowl.
Step 6: If the sauce is too thick, add in a tsp water and cook for 2 minutes more. If needed, season with more salt.
Step 7: Ladle the sauce over the shrimps and sprinkle with the remaining parsley before serving. Enjoy!
