About Butter shrimp

Butter Shrimp is a rich and flavorful dish rooted in Indian-inspired cuisine, known for its creamy, spiced gravy and tender shrimp. The dish typically features shrimp cooked in a sauce made from butter, heavy cream, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. Often served over steamed rice or with naan bread, Butter Shrimp is loved for its balance of richness and bold flavors. Shrimp is a lean source of protein and provides important nutrients like selenium, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12. However, the dish’s creamy sauce can be high in saturated fat and calories, depending on the amount of butter and cream used. Moderation and potential ingredient substitutions, like reduced-fat dairy or alternatives, can make it a healthier option while retaining its indulgent taste.
