7 steps

Gather the ingredients.

Cook the white rice according to package directions. Set aside and keep warm.

Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove and discard the tails or leave on, as desired.

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat until it stops foaming, about 45 seconds.

1 min

Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 15 to 20 seconds. Add the shrimp and sauté over medium heat, turning frequently until the shrimp just turns pink, or about 3 minutes.

3 min

Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.

Spoon the rice into a serving dish. Top with the lemon-garlic shrimp, garnish with the parsley, and serve immediately.
