Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

- 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
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the potato slices on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and remove the skillet from the heat.
- Once the potatoes are done, arrange them on a serving platter and top with the garlic butter shrimp.
- 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.
