How do you cook your favorite seafood dish?

Answer 1

I can provide you with a recipe for a popular seafood dish that many people enjoy - "Garlic Butter Shrimp."

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If the shrimp still have shells, you can remove them before cooking for a more convenient eating experience.

2. Heat the pan: In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

3. Sauté garlic and red pepper flakes: Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the melted butter. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. Cook the shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the shrimp, so keep an eye on them.

5. Add lemon juice and parsley: Once the shrimp are cooked, drizzle the lemon juice over them and add the chopped parsley. Stir everything together to coat the shrimp evenly.

6. Finish with butter: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and stir until it melts. This will give the dish a rich and creamy finish.

7. Season and serve: Taste the shrimp and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to your liking. Transfer the garlic butter shrimp to a serving dish and garnish with additional chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Garlic butter shrimp pairs well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread. Enjoy your delicious seafood dish!
