Garlic Shrimp...YUM!

I'm linking up with AP again for Project Pinterst.  Last week, I decided to try a recipe for Garlic Shrimp.   This dinner was fast, easy, and delicious!

 

Ingredients for 2 large or 4 small portions:

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

1 pound shrimp

salt to taste

6 cloves garlic, minced fine

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

2 tbsp cold butter, cut in 4 pieces

3 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp caper brine

1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley, divided

water as needed to thin sauce

Directions:
I did not follow the exact directions on the recipe--mainly because I had 2 kids hanging on me and I was running late.  That being said, this is how I made them....

Use a skillet, high heat.  Add olive oil, let heat.
Put in shrimp
Add salt and toss
wait a minute or 2
Add garlic and red pepper flakes
Add lemon juice (note--I did not use caper brine)
Add parsley
Add butter
Cook until shrimp is done and sauce looks mixed. 

I served mine over rice with broccoli as a side, but on the recipe, he put it on toast.  It's really up to you. 

Enjoy!
