About Shrimp cooked in butter

Shrimp cooked in butter is a simple yet flavorful dish enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in French, Mediterranean, and American cooking. It consists of shrimp sautéed in melted butter, often seasoned with garlic, herbs, and a touch of lemon juice for added zest. This dish is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting muscle health and energy metabolism. However, the butter contributes saturated fat and calories, so portion control is key to balancing its nutritional profile. Shrimp itself is low in calories and carbs, making this dish a satisfying option for low-carb or keto diets when consumed in moderation. For a lighter variation, olive oil can be used in place of butter. Paired with a vegetable side or whole grains, shrimp cooked in butter offers a delicious and nutrient-rich choice for seafood lovers.
