Try shrimp in a butter sauce. You don't need any special culinary skills to get them as delicious as those in the best restaurants. It's all about the right combination of ingredients. Simply sauté garlic, rosemary, and herbs in butter, pour the sauce over the shrimp, top with lemon wedges, and bake for a few minutes in the oven. The sauce will impart a fantastic creamy, spicy flavor to the shrimp, and the lemon will enhance it. This dish is perfect with pasta or served with a slice of crusty bread and a glass of white wine.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Melt the butter over low heat in a 25cm (9in) frying pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toast over low heat for 1 minute. Then turn off the heat and grate the zest of one lemon directly into the butter mixture.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, spread the shrimp tightly in a single layer, overlapping only the tails. Choose a 30cm diameter skillet (or a 25x32cm baking dish) that's oven-safe.
  4. Drizzle the shrimp with the flavored oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Trim the ends of the zested lemon, cut five slices (0.5 cm thick), and place them between the shrimp.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the shrimp are firm and pink. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the shrimp. Serve the shrimp hot with toasted bread for dipping in the garlic butter.
