Garlic butter shrimp tossed with white wine and ready in 15 minutes.
Avo's Tip
Remove shrimp once opaque.
No shrimp? Scallops or bite-sized pieces of firm white fish work the same way.
No butter? Ghee adds a nuttier flavor; olive oil makes it dairy-free.
No white wine? Chicken broth plus a squeeze of lemon replaces it well.

Ingredients
1
Shrimp
2
Garlic
3
Lemon juice
4
Salt
5
Butter
Instructions
1
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt.
2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
3
Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat as soon as they curl into a C-shape.
4
Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp and toss to coat.
5
Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or crusty bread, with extra lemon on the side.
Quick Fixes
Shrimp rubbery: Cook on medium-high, 1–2 minutes per side max. Shrimp are done the moment they curl into a C shape.
Butter burning: Add butter off high heat, or use a mix of butter and olive oil to raise the smoke point.
