15-Minute Garlic Shrimp Over Rice
This is a weeknight weapon. The kind of dinner that looks like you tried when you barely did. Shrimp cook fast, garlic and butter make everything taste like a restaurant, and rice from a rice cooker or a microwave bag handles itself.
What You Need
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- juice of 1 lemon
- cooked rice for serving
How to Make It
- 1
Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Melt butter in a wide skillet over high heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds — just until fragrant. Add shrimp in a single layer and don't touch them for 90 seconds.
- 3
Flip and cook another 60 seconds until just opaque. Squeeze lemon over the pan, toss everything together, and serve immediately over rice.
