THE BEST LEMON GARLIC SHRIMP

In my opinion, shrimp is the only food that I could not live without. I love shrimp, and if I had to choose just one dish, it would be this one. Yes. That’s how much I enjoy shrimp.

When I recently went through my fridge, I was delighted to find a pound of shrimp in my freezer. Garlic and parsley leaves are also in the bag, along with lemons and half sticks of butter.

My mind began to race with possibilities. I could cook lemon-garlic shrimp with all of the items listed above and be overjoyed. It sounds delectable and is quite simple to prepare.
