This garlic butter shrimps recipe is a delicious calamansi or lemon juice, garlic butter sauce with juicy sautéed shrimp. A delicious flavor combination that takes only 20 minutes to prepare. It will be even more delicious when mixed with soda drinks. Ingredients are also quite easy to find. This dish will melt in your mouth, a food that you will go back to over and over again. I enjoyed eating it with a lot of white rice. So try it now.
Clean the shrimp, wash, drain, and put them in a bowl.
Add soda drinks (sprite) and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
After marinating, separate the shrimp from the marinade sauce. Set aside the marinade sauce.
In a pan, melt the butter on low to medium heat, then sauté the minced garlic.
Add the marinated shrimp and stir fry. Season it with salt, onion powder, and calamansi juice or lemon juice. Cook and stir.
Pour the shrimp marinade sauce over. Season it with pepper powder and stir well. Cook it for a few minutes over low heat.
Add finely chopped spring onion leaves. Mix well.
Remove it from the heat and place it on a serving plate. Enjoy eating.
