Shrimp fried in butter with garlic

Of course, the first thing we do is wash and peel the shrimp. Then peel the onion, remove the husk from it and cut it very finely with a knife. Garlic cloves are also cleaned and also very finely chopped with a knife. It is not necessary to pass garlic through a special press, since in this case it will turn into porridge when cooking, and we do not need it.

Wash the sprigs of fresh parsley under running water and blot the moisture with kitchen paper napkins. After that, we spread the parsley on the work surface and finely chop it with a knife.

I wash the lemon thoroughly with the back of a dish sponge and warm water to wash off the layer of preservative that citrus fruits are usually treated with when sold to increase shelf life. Next, squeeze out the specified amount of juice and remove a little lemon zest. When removing the peel, we try not to touch the white layer of the peel, which is unpleasantly bitter. You can also use the zest prepared in advance, but it's better to take fresh.

Put a large frying pan on medium heat, put butter in it and melt it, heat it. Put the chopped onion, chopped garlic in the oil, sprinkle with ground red pepper. Cook everything together, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.

Next, add the shrimp to the pan, mix, sprinkle everything with salt and ground black pepper. Cook everything together for 3-4 minutes - until the shrimp is ready. Shrimp, when ready, turn pink. It is important not to over-cook them, otherwise they will become harsh and dry, not as juicy, rich and delicious as they should.

Put finely chopped parsley, lemon zest in a frying pan and pour out the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix everything, remove it immediately from the fire and serve it hot on the table. We complement the dish with fresh bread, which can be dipped in delicious garlic sauce.

Bon appetit! It's just enjoying the taste!
