Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Gently reheat leftovers in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying.
  • Serve this delectable shrimp over zucchini noodles for a lighter, low-carb option.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter slightly before adding the garlic, but watch it carefully to prevent burning.
