Today I’m sharing an incredibly easy and mouthwatering recipe prepared in under 30 minutes: Â Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp. Succulent shrimp marinated in a simple and flavorful sauce – serve as a delicious seafood appetizer or with a garden salad and French bread for a quick dinner!
I love a good 30-minute meal and this does not disappoint. The marinade is prepared with staple pantry and fridge ingredients that you probably already have on-hand!
That marinade is just heavenly. I use about â…” of the mixture to marinate the shrimp in, then add the remaining marinade at the end of cooking the shrimp. You’re definitely going to need some crusty French bread to soak up some of that good stuff!
