Garlic Butter Shrimp, when served on a sizzling plate looks fancy and expensive at a restaurant, but it is pretty much that : shrimp cooked with garlic and butter, with squirts of lemon juice.
This recipe is somewhat like that of Shrimp Scampi, except that it has no dry white wine(which is not usually available in most Filipino households).
Since I serve it on a sizzling plate, I cook the shrimp real quickly because it continues cooking on the hot plate - and shrimps get tough and chewy when overcooked.
Also, depending on how you like your garlic (I put up to 1 head of garlic sometimes), know that the garlic taste mellows when cooked in oil.
Serve the buttery goodness with bread, or a side of steamed vegetables, pasta, or even rice.
