Shrimps in garlicky butter, served with fresh salad

Shrimps, butter and garlic are among my favorite ingredients, so when I cooked a dish that successfully incorporated all three of them, I was super happy with the result 😀

Ingredients: (for 2 servings)

For the buttery shrimps:

• 700 g shrimps
• 120 g butter
• 8 cloves of garlic
• 1 small lemon
• 40 ml white wine
• a few sprigs of fresh parsley
• 30 ml sunflower oil
• salt+pepper

For the salad:

• 1 small salad
• 2-3 spring onions
• 2-3 small cucumbers
• ~15 cherry tomatoes
• 1 pepper
• 40 g raw sunflower seeds
• olive oil+balsamic vinegar
• salt+pepper

Wash and clean the shrimps, put them in a sieve and drain well.

Peel the garlic and crush it through a garlic press.

Put the oil in a large pan, and when it has heated up, add the shrimps. Brown them well for 3-4 minutes and then remove them with the help of a spatula with holes in a bowl. Leave them aside.

Continue to cook in the same pan: add 80 g of butter, and when the butter is melted, add the minced garlic. Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes and stir often. Then add the wine and lemon juice, mix and let it reduce for about 3-4 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Put the shrimps back in the pan, add salt and pepper and the rest of the butter. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the shrimps.

Prepare the salad: Wash the vegetables and cut them, add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and mix well.

Put the salad on a plate and put the shrimps next to it. Serve with a glass of cold white wine. 🙃
