Fish Foodies Pro Tips
- Don’t overcook: Shrimp turn rubbery if cooked too long—remove as soon as they turn pink.
- Pat dry: Always dry shrimp well for the best sear.
- Pairings: Serve over pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce.
Bonus Garlic Butter Sauce
After cooking shrimp, whisk 1 extra tbsp butter with 1 tbsp white wine or broth into the pan juices. Drizzle over shrimp or pasta for an instant upgrade.
