Garlic Butter Shrimp

Continuing on my seafood theme, I've been making this Garlic Butter Shrimp recipe weekly.

It's a pretty quick prep and cook. The most time consuming part I bring on myself by thawing, peeling, and deveining the shrimp. 

I made these with two pounds of shrimp and some corn on the cob as a side.

Pics spread out across a couple of cooks.

Parsley, corn starch, spices, garlic, and butter.


Wire rack and sheet tray make applying spices and corn starch a more precise endeavor. I slide this into the fridge to help dry out the shrimp for better sauteing and browning. 



I really love throwing this big ole lodge frying pan on the Egg. May need to work on leveling out my table a bit. Note the pool of butter back left.

    Great shrimp cooks right there.  Love grilling shrimp and you did them justice.
    Now, please allow me to introduce you to a serious shrimp rabbit hole.  Thread here:
    I went down that rabbit hole (took advantage of the Wild Fork buy) and am glad I did but likely only this one time.  If serious about shrimp cooks, then you should consider this.  (No affiliation here.) FWIW-

    Man that right there looks good.  As I always tell my wife, "restaurant qualiteeee".  Ever try Green Lightning Shrimp?

    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    I’m familiar with GLS for sure, just trying to broaden my horizons a bit with different flavor profiles.
