Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating gently. For a lighter option, substitute butter with olive oil or avocado oil. Fresh ingredients, especially the lemon juice, make a significant difference in flavor, so avoid bottled versions. Grilling the shrimp on skewers is a great alternative for a smoky flavor.
