About Shrimp in butter

Shrimp in Butter is a flavorful dish popular in various cuisines, particularly French and Mediterranean cooking. It features shrimp sautéed in rich, golden butter, often seasoned with garlic, herbs like parsley, and a hint of lemon for brightness. The result is tender, juicy shrimp infused with indulgent buttery notes. Shrimp is a lean protein source, low in calories and high in nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, which support overall health. However, the butter adds saturated fat and calories, making portion control important for those monitoring their diet. By substituting or reducing butter, this dish can be made lighter while preserving its essence. It's versatile, pairing well with crusty bread, rice, or vegetables, and its simplicity makes it a favorite for quick home cooking.
