Creating Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Begin by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to become bubbly but not browned.
3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
4. Cook Shrimp: Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink.
5. Flip and Season: Flip the shrimp over and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked. Ensure they are opaque and cooked through.
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and mix well to combine with the garlic butter.
7. Serve Immediately: Plate the shrimp alongside your choice of low-carb sides.
