Sicilian Fried Shrimp with Herb Butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried marjoram, and Italian seasoning. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of salted butter and let it melt.

   Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through.

5. 5

   Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, chopped fresh basil, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the skillet. Toss the shrimp to coat in the herb butter and cook for 1 more minute.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Spoon any remaining herb butter from the pan over the shrimp.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired.
