15-Minute Garlic Butter Shrimp

Instructions

1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer, working in two batches if they don't fit without touching, and cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove to a plate.
3. Lower the heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Cooking the shrimp first keeps the garlic from burning and turning bitter.
4. Pour the broth and lemon juice into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
6. Scatter with parsley and serve over rice or with crusty bread.
