Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 large russet potatoes, sliced into ¼ inch rounds
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil, for drizzling
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)

How to Make Garlic Butter Shrimp with Crispy Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the potato slices on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Bake the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. While the potatoes are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5. Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
6. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove the skillet from the heat.
7. Once the potatoes are done, arrange them on a serving platter and top with the garlic butter shrimp.
8. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the shrimp are fresh and of good quality for the best flavor.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp; this ensures they sear rather than steam.
• Adjust the garlic quantity based on your preference for a more or less intense flavor.
• For extra crunch, consider broiling the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.

Easy Variations

• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Substitute the parsley with fresh basil or cilantro for a different flavor profile.
• For a Mediterranean twist, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the shrimp mixture.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Steamed asparagus or green beans for a colorful plate.
• Garlic bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.
• A glass of chilled white wine to complement the flavors.
