Tips to make The Best One Pot Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe Ever
The Best One Pot Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe Ever is crazy easy - but there are a couple of tips and tricks to ensure shrimp that is bursting with flavor in under 15 minutes!
Don't Overcook Shrimp
Shrimp will continue cooking in the pan for a few minutes even after you pull it off the heat - so be sure to pull it the second the shrimp is no longer gray and has turned opaque.
Overcooked shrimp is gummy and can taste fishy - perfect shrimp is buttery, slightly sweet, and doesn't smell or taste fishy.
Keep Tails On Or Take Them Off
I like to leave the shrimp tails on when serving this dinner in a way I care about the presentation (like at a semi-fancy dinner party or guests I'd like to impress) because it simply looks prettier - but I often take them off when making this for a quick and easy dinner or a romantic meal.
I do like that keeping shrimp tails on can give extra shrimp flavor to the dish - but they can be a pain to peel as you eat if you're in a hurry, serving to children, or want to look cute when eating your meal!
Add chili slowly to taste
I love incredibly spicy food - I am known to ask restaurants to make me cry when I order.
This dish is not incredibly spicy - but can be made less or more spicy depending on your taste.
If you're a bit skittish about heat, start with 1 teaspoon and add a little bit at a time, tasting as you go, to get a heat level you like.
You can always add more - but you can't take it back!
Swap sweet chili for chili paste if desired
I used chili paste in this recipe, but you can swap it out for sweet chili sauce for a bit milder flavor - it changes the flavor slightly, but is an amazingly delicious take on this easy garlic butter shrimp dinner!
