Spicy Garlic Shrimp

IMG_0336.PNG

This makes a fantastic weeknight recipe! From start to finish it is done in no time. You’ll definitely want something to soak up the delicious juice. Using crusty Italian bread is delicious for soaking, although pasta, rice or another grain works just as well and is equally amazing. If you don’t like spice, skip out on the red chili pepper. However, the lemon, garlic and butter are important ingredients that become incredibly delightful when married together. If you are using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw the shrimp before cooking.
