Ingredients

  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the jasmine rice by rinsing it under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it according to package instructions using chicken broth instead of water.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the lemon juice until the butter melts and forms a sauce. Toss to combine the shrimp and sauce evenly.
  • Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it among serving plates.
  • Top each plate of rice with the garlic butter shrimp and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish before serving warm.
