Does anyone spend hours slaving over a hot stove anymore? I sure don’t. My spicy buttered shrimp is one of my go-to recipes to make when I’m crunched for time because it’s incredibly simple to prepare. You can even cut down on prep time by asking your local fishmonger to devein them for you. I hope you enjoy making these as much I do. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. of uncooked, shrimp, (unpeeled & deveined)
2 sticks of butter
Freshly ground black pepper
6 cloves of crushed garlic
Finely grated lime zest
Juice of 1 lime
Cayenne pepper
Red pepper flakes
1 Bouillon cube
Finely chopped parsley or cilantro
2 sprigs of thyme
Lime wedges
Crusty bread, to serve
DIRECTIONS
Melt the butter. Place the shrimp in a medium-sized saucepan and pour the butter mixture over them. Add in the lime zest and juice, thyme, garlic, bouillon cube, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper and pepper flakes. Then bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink. Before serving, sprinkle with a handful of parsley or cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges and lots of crusty bread.
