This garlic shrimp recipe is super easy to make and tastes delicious! If you want a really easy and tasty dinner on the table in under 15 minutes this shrimp is perfect for you!
I prefer to use shrimp that has the shells removed because it’s quicker and easier to eat. I use medium to extra large shrimp for this recipe but any size will work. This would go great along side some Hawaiian mac salad, a green salad, steamed veggies or some rice.
This recipe really is simple, almost so simple I didn’t include it on my website but then I figured, if I love it for it simplicity, ease to make and delicious taste then everyone needs to have it too. I also love providing some dinner inspiration for anyone who is caught in “what’s for dinner?” funk. I also get caught in that question from day to day and seeing a simple recipe like this saves me from the 5 o’clock witching hour.
