Buttered Garlic Shrimp

Buttered Garlic Shrimp

Instead of cooking a simple “halabos na hipon” recipe, I opted to add a little twist into it by cooking a Buttered Garlic Shrimp. The lemon and lemon soda marinade eliminates the “langsa” from the shrimps and added a little tangy basic taste. With the addition of butter and garlic, this seafood dish was truly savory and aromatic in its sense. Prepare to eat more rice when having this dish on your table today.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. shrimps, washed and antennas removed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup lemon soda (7-up, mountain dew, etc.)
• 1 pc. small fresh lemon

Cooking Directions:

1. Place shrimps in a bowl and pour lemon soda. Slice fresh lemon and squeeze (without seeds) over shrimps.
2. Marinate for 30 minutes.
3. Heat pan and place butter. Allow the butter to melt.
4. Sauté garlic until light brown.
5. Add shrimps (without the marinade) and continue to sauté until shrimps turn pink.
6. Pour remaining marinade. Cover and simmer in medium low fire until all liquid evaporates. Stir occasionally.
7. Serve hot with rice.
