Notes

For a dairy-free version, use olive oil instead of butter. Feel free to substitute shrimp with scallops or chicken. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic herb butter will give a subtle kick. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat gently in a skillet. Shrimp are best enjoyed fresh!
