Garlic Butter Sautéed Shrimp: A Quick and Delicious Delight

Serving: Serve over a bed of rice, pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Pair with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking.
Variants:

Cajun Style: Swap the paprika for Cajun seasoning to add a spicy, smoky kick.
Creamy Garlic Shrimp: Add ½ cup of heavy cream and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese after sautéing the shrimp for a creamy sauce.
Herb Infused: Add fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs to the butter while it melts for an herbaceous twist.
FAQ:

Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes! Thaw the shrimp thoroughly and pat them dry before cooking to prevent excess moisture.

What if I don’t have fresh garlic?
Substitute with ½ tsp garlic powder, though fresh garlic provides a more vibrant flavor.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can cook the shrimp and reheat gently just before serving.
