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

Procedure:

In a pan, melt 2 tablespoon of butter on high.

Once butter is melted lay shrimp in to the pan.

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)

Cook shrimp 1 minute 30 seconds each side.

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.

Add two turns of fresh pepper.

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.

Add a little more fresh chopped cilantro and pepper to taste once on the plate for flavor and presentation.

Cilantro is probably the best herb ever! Combined with Shrimp, this sounds fabulous!
