About Shrimps in garlic butter

Shrimps in Garlic Butter is a flavorful seafood dish originating from Mediterranean and European cuisines. Featuring tender shrimp sautéed in a rich butter sauce infused with minced garlic and fresh herbs, it delivers a combination of savory and aromatic flavors. Often seasoned with lemon juice, parsley, and a touch of pepper, this dish is a favorite for its simplicity and indulgence. Shrimp serves as a lean source of protein, low in calories and high in essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and iodine. Garlic contributes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while fresh herbs and lemon add vitamins and a refreshing balance to the buttery richness. However, the butter content, depending on portion size, may contribute to high saturated fat levels, making moderation key. Shrimps in Garlic Butter pairs well with whole-grain sides or steamed vegetables for a satisfying, nutrient-conscious meal.
