You need

To buy

  • 1 lemon

From your shelf

  • one 10-ounce bag sea salt and pepper jumbo popcorn shrimp

Staples

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Spread one 10-ounce bag of shrimp in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3 minutes, then toss and cook another 2 minutes until golden and crisp on both sides.
  2. While the shrimp cooks, smash and mince 2 cloves garlic. Halve a lemon and juice half of it into a small bowl.
  3. Scrape the shrimp to one side of the pan. Add 2 tablespoons butter and the garlic to the empty side, let it foam for 30 seconds, then swirl everything together. Pour in the lemon juice, toss once, and taste for salt and pepper.

Note Swap lemon for lime or vinegar if needed. Leftover shrimp keeps three days in an airtight container; reheat gently in a low oven. Serve with crusty bread, rice, or a green salad to soak up the butter.
