Ingredients Needed
Shrimp. I used frozen shrimp. I prefer peeling the shrimp myself as I find the texture is much better but if peeled shrimp is all you can find, they’ll work just fine. Butter. Salted/unsalted butter will both work. Olive oil can be substituted. Salt and black pepper. Lemon pepper seasoning. Fresh garlic cloves. Garlic powder can be used too. Fresh lemon juice. Fresh parsley, for garnish.

Serving suggestions
Lemon shrimp are absolutely delicious served as is in their buttery sauce with pasta, over garlic butter rice or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Add a big side salad to complete the meal.
