Step by Step Method

Step 1

Peel and devein the shrimp. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large and heavy sauté pan set over medium-high heat melt butter melt until it starts sizzles, add the garlic; cook 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the shrimp, making sure that the pan is not overcrowded, and let them brown on one side and then the other, for about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Don’t let them overcook; they should be browned on the outside but barely cooked through.

Step 4
