Here’s your new go-to shrimp recipe: garlic butter shrimp! The shrimp come out impossibly juicy with the best garlic flavor. The sauce it just the right amount of buttery: deliciously savory but moderate enough to be a healthy dinner idea. The best part? It takes under 10 minutes to make. Yep, that’s pretty unheard of in dinnertime territory. Alex and I have devoted our expertise to easy healthy dinner recipes, and this one tops the list. And it works for both weeknights or entertaining. And it’s kid friendly (our son loves it). Really, what can’t this recipe do?

What’s in a garlic butter shrimp recipe?

- - - -

The great thing about shrimp is: it tastes incredible when prepared simply! There’s not much you need to add to make shrimp taste like a million bucks. Here’s all that you need for this garlic butter shrimp recipe:

- - - -
  • Large shrimp: It can be fresh or frozen, peeled or unpeeled. It’s nice to buy deveined so you don’t have to bother with that step.
  • Garlic: Only use fresh garlic: no dried here!
  • Butter: Salted butter is perfect; unsalted works in a pinch.
  • Lemon: A few lemon wedges are key to get the perfect flavor: don’t skimp here!
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, optional: It looks beautiful for a garnish!
- - - -

Skip the garnishes (lemon and parsley) and it’s an easy 3 ingredient recipe!

- - - -

This shrimp cooks in 3 to 4 minutes!

The biggest mistake home cooks make with shrimp? Overcooking it. Overcooked shrimp is tough and rubbery, and it can go from perfect to overdone in just a minute. Pay close attention while you’re cooking the shrimp so you remove it from the heat at just the right time. Here are a few pointers:

- - - -
  1. If using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely (see the section below). Pat the shrimp dry and mix it with the garlic and salt.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side on medium high heat (3 to 4 minutes total). Remove it from the heat as soon as it turns opaque.
  3. Spritz with fresh lemon juice and serve immediately!

What to serve with garlic butter shrimp?

- - - -

Of course, just making garlic butter shrimp doesn’t make a meal in itself. But whip up a whole grain or a veggie to go alongside, and it’s dinner! Here’s what we’d suggest serving it with:

Fresh vs. frozen shrimp: which is better?

- - - -

Is there a preference between fresh vs frozen shrimp? Here’s what you need to know:

- - - -
  • Both fresh and frozen shrimp work! A myth about fish is that “fresh is best,” but frozen isn’t necessarily lower quality. In fact, it might be higher.
  • Explanation: As soon as an animal dies it begins to decompose; freezing suspends this process. If a fish is frozen when it was caught and stays frozen until it gets to your kitchen, it will be higher quality than a raw fish that has taken a week to get to your plate.
- - - -

How to thaw frozen shrimp

- - - -

How to thaw frozen shrimp? There are a few different options:

- - - -
  • Day before: If you think ahead, simply place the frozen shrimp in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Day of: Place the frozen shrimp into a large bowl with very cold water. Stir the bowl every 5 minutes to break up clumps of shrimp that freeze together. The shrimp should be defrosted in about 15 minutes.

Looking to buy sustainable shrimp?

- - - -

It’s hard to figure out how to buy sustainable fish at the grocery store. Here are a few pointers when you’re out shopping:

- - - -
  • Look for wild-caught fish if possible. If you live in the US, look for US caught. 90% of the seafood eaten in the US is imported. Imported seafood runs the risk of being overfished, caught under unfair labor practices, or farmed in environmentally harmful ways.
  • How your fish is caught matters. Look for hook and line as one example of a sustainable gear type. Bottom trawling is considered the most destructive and least sustainable method.

Gluten-free and pescatarian. For dairy-free, use vegan butter.

Why we love this recipe

+ + + +

Hello and welcome to your new favorite breakfast! Alex and I came together to create an over-the-top breakfast recipe and we came up with these brown butter pancakes. Brown butter infuses a nutty essence to the pancakes, and what takes them sky high is the salted maple caramel syrup, which covers everything in salty sweet gooeyness. We are absolutely obsessed with

+ + + +

This recipe is a collaboration to celebrate BUTTER, a fine art fair that features artwork made by Black visual artists from Indiana and across the country. It’s one of our favorite events in the city! So we made a custom recipe starring, of course, butter in all its best forms. Learn more about BUTTER below* and buy tickets here.

+ + + +
+
+

Ingredient notes for brown butter pancakes

+ + + +

Brown butter pancakes are a fun way to take a simple pancakes recipe over the top. The brown butter infuses nutty, caramelized notes into the pancakes. But even better is the maple caramel syrup: it really takes the cake here! It brings out the sweet, salty, and nutty notes in a way that’s indescribable. We’d recommend making it if at all possible! Here are a few ingredient notes:

+ + + +
    +
  • Unsalted butter: The level of saltiness in salted butter varies. So using unsalted butter allows the salt content to be controlled by the amount specified in the recipe. You can also use salted butter here if it’s all you have; just use slightly salt than specified in the pancakes (¼ teaspoon).
    • + + + +
  • All purpose flour and whole wheat flour: We like adding a little whole wheat flour to pancakes to make them heartier and add a slightly nutty flavor. You can use 100% all purpose flour if desired.
    • + + + +
  • Milk: Use your milk of choice, either whole, 2%, skim, or non-dairy milk.
    • + + + +
  • Brown sugar: Use granulated sugar if desired.

  • Egg: For vegan, substitute a flax egg.
    • + + + +
  • Baking powder, salt, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar: These ingredients round out the pancakes. The vinegar helps the pancakes to be fluffy: substitute any other type of vinegar if you don’t have it on hand.

Tips for the maple caramel syrup

+ + + +

The maple caramel syrup really carries the flavor here! It’s a salted syrup so the salty sweet flavor really takes the pancakes over the top. Here are a few notes and tips for making it:

+ + + +
    +
  • Find pure maple syrup. You’ll want pure maple syrup, not artificially flavored. We like syrup marked “Grade A: Dark Color Robust Taste.”
    • + + + +
  • Use heavy cream to add thickness. The cream adds thickness and shine to the syrup. For vegan, use full ft coconut milk.
    • + + + +
  • Customize the salt to taste. We like it with ¼ teaspoon salt, but you can use more or less as desired.

How to make brown butter

+ + + +

Brown butter is regular butter cooked a bit longer until the milk solids toast and turn golden brown, creating a nutty and caramelized flavor that adds depth and richness to dishes. You’ll want it to become very brown, then remove it from the heat right before it burns. Here are the steps for browning butter:

+ + + +
+
+
Step 1: Heat until the butter starts to foam.
+ + + +

Step 1: Place the butter in a large skillet, cut into pieces. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally. First the butter melts, then it starts to foam (around 1 ½ minutes if browning 1 stick of butter).

+
+ + + +
+
Step 2: Continue to stir until it starts to bubble.
+ + + +

Step 2: Continue to stir occasionally until the foaming stops and the butter starts to bubble, typically around 4 to 5 minutes.

+
+ + + +
+
Step 3: Cook until the butter turns brown.
+ + + +

Step 3: Continue to stir occasionally until the butter becomes brown in color and starts to smell nutty, around 5 to 7 minutes. Immediately remove the butter from the heat and pour it into a bowl to cool.

+
+
+
+
+ + + +
+

Storing leftovers

+ + + +

Leftover pancakes store up to 5 days refrigerated. Leftover maple caramel stores refrigerated for up to 3 days; gently re-warm it on the stovetop before serving.

Ingredients

Brown Butter Pancakes

+
    +
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
    • +
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
    • +
  • ¼ cup whole wheat flour
    • +
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • +
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • +
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • +
  • 1 cup milk of choice
    • +
  • 1 large egg
    • +
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • +
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • +
+

Salted Maple Butter Drizzle

+
    +
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
    • +
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • +
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
    • +
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • +
+
+
+
+ + +
+
+
+ +
+
+

Instructions

+
+
+
    +
  1. To make the drizzle, combine the butter and maple syrup in a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer, then simmer on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes very foamy and starts to turn a caramel color. Add the cream and boil for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and pour into a pitcher to cool (it will thicken more as it cools).
    2. +
  2. Brown the butter: Place the butter (sliced into pieces) in a skillet over medium heat. Heat for a few minutes until it melts, turns foamy, and then starts to become golden brown and then brown in color and smells nutty. For the best flavor, you’ll want the butter to be very brown: but not burnt! Be careful because it can burn very quickly. Immediately remove from the heat and transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
    3. +
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    4. +
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Once the butter is ready and slightly cooled, whisk it in.
    5. +
  5. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. (It will thicken after it sits 1 to 2 minutes.)
    6. +
  6. Lightly butter a skillet or griddle and wipe off extra grease with a paper towel. Heat the skillet to medium low heat. Pour the batter onto the griddle in ¼ cup scoops. Cook until the bubbles pop on the top and the bottoms are golden. Then flip them and cook until cooked through.
    7. +
  7. Place the cooked pancakes under an inverted bowl to keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain an even temperature, and adding additional splash of milk to the batter if necessary. Serve immediately with maple caramel syrup.

Leftover pancakes store up to 5 days refrigerated. Leftover maple caramel stores refrigerated for up to 3 days; gently re-warm it on the stovetop before serving.

    Can I use buttermilk in this recipe? If so do I still add the vinegar?

      Great question! This should work with the same amount of buttermilk (I checked our buttermilk pancakes to be sure, and the flour to liquid ratio is similar). Yes, remove the vinegar since the buttermilk will provide the acidity. Thanks for asking!
