Garlic Shrimp Recipe

The BEST Garlic Shrimp ever! It’s just like the famous shrimp you buy at the food trucks in Hawaii. Made with succulent shrimp cooked in an extra garlicky, deliciously rich, butter based sauce.

I love this recipe because not only does it pack an abundance of fresh flavor but it’s incredibly easy to prepare.

And who doesn’t love a delicious sautéed shrimp recipe? Plus a fast dish, built up with basic ingredients, that’s sure to impress?

It’s one of those entrees that’s perfect for a busy day yet it’s so good you’d love to serve it to guests at a weekend get together.

Shrimp is always good (when properly cooked of course) but then when you finish it off with a sauce this good people will be talking about it for days and longing for another taste of this savory decadence.
