This 'Shrimp Delight' takes only 4 ingredients, but the flavor makes it feel like a restaurant-quality meal—everyone’s obsessed!

Garlic butter shrimp is one of those delightful dishes that brings me back to simpler times. Growing up in the Midwest, shrimp wasn't always on the table, but when it was, it felt like a special occasion. This low carb 4-ingredient version captures that same charm, combining the briny goodness of shrimp with the rich flavors of garlic and butter. It's quick to prepare, and perfect for those who are watching their carbohydrates without sacrificing taste. You might want to make this to savor those unforgettable family dinners where stories were shared and memories were made.

This garlic butter shrimp pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or some roasted vegetables. The lightness of the salad complements the rich buttery flavor, while a side of steamed asparagus or roasted Brussels sprouts adds an earthy depth. If you're indulging, a small serving of cauliflower rice absorbs the garlic butter sauce perfectly, making every mouthful a delight.

Servings: 4

1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque.

Drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked shrimp and give it a good stir to coat generously with the garlic butter sauce.

Serve immediately, garnished with some fresh parsley if desired.

For a little heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic. If you're in the mood for some herbs, a sprinkle of fresh dill or basil can add a lovely aroma. To make this dish even more special, you might consider trying browned butter for a deeper, nuttier flavor. You can also grill the shrimp after marinating them in the butter and garlic for a smokier touch.
