This pan fried shrimp recipe is my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just ten minutes from start to finish. Bay shrimp are wonderfully affordable and cook so quickly, making this perfect for busy evenings when you want something restaurant quality without the fuss. The butter creates a gorgeous golden sauce while shrimp provide excellent lean protein and omega 3 fatty acids that are great for your heart. A squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of garlic salt finish it off beautifully. Serve it over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that buttery goodness.
