Recipe

Ingredients

  • Seafood (Shrimp, Lobster, or Scallops): Delicate and naturally sweet, seafood is the star of the dish.
  • Butter: Adds richness, especially for lobster and shrimp, often creating a luxurious sauce.
  • Garlic: Enhances flavor with a mild pungency that complements seafood.
  • Lemon: Brings bright acidity to balance the richness of butter or creamy sauces.
  • Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill): Adds a burst of freshness, essential for highlighting seafood’s delicate flavors.
  • White Wine: Used in sauces or marinades to add complexity and depth.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Peel and devein shrimp. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the garlic butter sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and add a splash of white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc).
  3. Grill the shrimp: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque.
