Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for seasoning)

How to Make Garlic Butter Shrimp with Crispy Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. While the potatoes are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
6. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and well combined.
7. Remove the crispy potato rounds from the oven and plate them alongside the garlic butter shrimp. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
• Adjust the garlic to your taste; feel free to add more if you love that garlicky flavor.
• For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Easy Variations

• Swap the shrimp for scallops or chicken if you prefer a different protein.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the skillet for added color and nutrition.
• Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or basil for a fresh twist.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a lemon vinaigrette
• Steamed asparagus or green beans for added crunch
• Rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce
• Crusty bread to enjoy with the shrimp
