Ingredients

  • 1 lb Uncooked shrimp
  • 1 cup Butter
  • 6 Cloves of garlic
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper
  • 1 French Baguette
  • 1/4 cup Parsley

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to the 350°F.
  • Over medium heat, melt butter in a skillet or pan. Careful not to overcook the butter and burn it.
  • Peel the garlic, and press it through a garlic press. Once the butter is melted, add the pressed garlic into the skillet. Cook until tender. About 2 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp to the garlic and butter. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and curls, so that the head of the shrimp is almost touching the tail.
  • While the shrimp is cooking, slice the baguette and place onto a baking sheet. Place the bread in the oven for about 4 minutes, turning them halfway through. You want the bread to become toasty on the outside.
  • One the shrimp is done, add about 1/4 cup of chopped parsely and squeeze 1/2 a lemon and mix it with the shrimp.
  • Serve in the skillet with the toasted bread. Enjoy!
