Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 head garlic crushed
  • 2 lbs shrimp cleaned
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Begin by marinating the cleaned shrimp in lemon-lime soda for about 10 minutes to infuse them with a subtle citrus flavor.
  • In a large pan, melt the butter over low heat, allowing it to bubble gently. Add the crushed garlic to the pan, cooking it slowly until it turns a light golden brown, releasing its aromatic essence.
  • Increase the heat to high, then toss in the marinated shrimp. Stir-fry the shrimp vigorously until they turn a vibrant orange, signaling they are perfectly cooked.
  • Season the shrimp with a sprinkle of salt, a dash of ground black pepper, and a splash of fresh lemon juice. Stir everything together to evenly coat the shrimp in the seasoned butter sauce.
  • Finally, add the chopped parsley to the pan, cooking for an additional 30 seconds to incorporate its fresh, herbaceous flavor.
  • Serve the shrimp hot, making sure to savor every bite. Share and enjoy this delightful dish!
