Spicy Garlic Butter Shrimp
This dish takes me back to beachside dinners — the kind where the sunset glows and the food is bold and buttery. These shrimp are seared to perfection with a smoky, spicy kick, then tossed in a zesty garlic butter sauce that’ll have you licking the plate. It’s simple, quick, and full of flavor that feels like a vacation.
