Ingredients
  • 1 dozen uncooked 16-20 count size shrimp. (Tail on)
  • Garlic
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Fresh Lime Juice (Keep Lime after squeezing for a little lime zest)
  • Fresh Grated Pepper

Directions
  1. Procedure:
  2. In a pan, melt 2 tablespoon of butter on high.
  3. Once butter is melted lay shrimp in to the pan.
  4. Once shrimp is in the pan add 2 cloves of chopped garlic. (This way the garlic does not burn and become bitter at such high heat)
  5. Cook shrimp 1 minute 30 seconds each side.
  6. Once you flip the shrimp over, add 1 teaspoon of fresh chopped cilantro and 2 tablespoons of lime juice for the shrimp to continue to cook into.
  7. Add two turns of fresh pepper.
  8. Take shrimp out of pan and plate. One plate pour a little more lime juice over the shrimp. This way while the shrimp still continue to cook it absorbs the flavors.
  9. Add a little more fresh chopped cilantro and pepper to taste once on the plate for flavor and presentation.
