About Lemon butter shrimp

Lemon Butter Shrimp is a vibrant seafood dish that pairs tender, succulent shrimp with a rich, tangy sauce made from lemon juice, butter, garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley. Originating from Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, it offers a perfect balance of indulgence and brightness. Shrimp is a lean source of protein, low in calories and rich in nutrients such as selenium and vitamin B12, making it a healthy choice for many diets. The freshly squeezed lemon provides a dose of vitamin C, while the garlic adds antioxidants and potential immune-supporting benefits. However, the butter contributes saturated fats, so enjoy this dish in moderation if you're watching fat intake. Lemon Butter Shrimp is often served with whole-grain pasta, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad to round out its flavor profile while enhancing its nutritional balance.
