Sure, you can sauté onions and garlic with olive oil and then add butter to cook the shrimp, but using Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt. This is made with simple ingredients and is spreadable right out of the refrigerator – it’s the rich creaminess of the butter you love with the goodness of olive oil.
To make this dish even easier – purchase frozen, peeled, and deveined shrimp to eliminate some of the messy work.
Let it thaw overnight in the fridge, or for faster thawing, take the shrimp out of its package, put it in a strainer, and rinse in cold water. The shrimp should be ready to cook in about 15 minutes.
Shrimp cooks much faster than meat and poultry. Shrimp are also small, so it doesn’t take much time for heat to penetrate them. The shrimp will cook in 6 to 8 minutes. If they curl up into tight little O’s, they’re overcooked.
I made this recipe with parsley for a bright mild flavor, but feel free to substitute with cilantro for an earthy bolder flavor.
Refrigerate cooked shrimp for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing this dish because shrimp become rubbery when reheated.
