I love this garlic shrimp cooked in a creamy cilantro lime butter sauce. Serve this as an appetizer, with pasta, over rice, or in tortillas for tacos. The recipe is easy to adapt. Swap lime for lemon and try other tender herbs like parsley, dill, basil, or tarragon instead of cilantro.
Ingredient:
- 1 pound (450g) extra large shrimp, peeled with tails left on and deveined
- 1 lime plus a few extra wedges for serving
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic, about 6 cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, optional
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
