Ingredients

  • 1 lb large raw shrimp shelled and deveined
  • 4 garlic cloves sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Chopped parsley for garnish optional
  • Angel hair pasta cooked according to box directions, for serving

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes, or until nice and fragrant. (TIP: Don't let the garlic burn. If garlic slices start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat!)
  • Add shrimp in one layer and cook for about 1 minute, or until they just turn opaque and pink. Then flip them and cook for another minute.
  • Sprinkle salt and cook for another minute or so, until all shrimp are opaque and pink, stirring frequently. Don’t overcook them, or they’ll become tough and chewy.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with pasta, or as an appetizer.
