- Unsalted butter (Anchor brand recommended)
- Garlic
- White wine (optional)
- Lemon
- Skillet or frying pan
- Kitchen tongs

## Quantities

Determine how many servings you plan to make before starting. One serving is sufficient for 1-2 people.

Per serving:

- Large shrimp: 8-10 pieces (approx. 200g)
- Unsalted butter: 30g
- Garlic: 4 cloves (approx. 20g)
- White wine: 15ml (optional)

## Instructions

- Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail on. Remove the vein using a toothpick. Rinse and pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Mince the garlic and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 10ml of olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp. Fry for 1-1.5 minutes per side until they change color, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté over low heat for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- If using white wine, add it now and cook until the alcohol evaporates (about 1 minute).
- Return the shrimp to the pan and toss with the garlic butter sauce for about 1 minute.
- Squeeze in lemon juice, toss to combine, and immediately remove from heat.
- Plate the shrimp and drizzle with the remaining sauce from the pan.

## Additional Notes
