Lemon-Garlic Shrimp

  4.4 – 37 reviews  • Shrimp

The ideal syrup for pancakes, French toast, or crepes. The best part is that it’s incredibly quick and simple to make! This syrup is a knockoff of the syrup served at Kneaders Cafe in Utah.

Pretty spicy and little lemon taste. I might make it again adjusting the ingredients to my liking.
Tony Watson
Easy and delish! Made with roasted brussel sprouts and parpardelle
Keith Williams
It was very easy. I made a mistake of putting a little more of Old Bay seasoning and the shrimp got salty. Otherwise very simple and could’ve tasted better had I put the correct measurements for the seasoning of old bay. I’ll definitely make this dish again! So simple and quick!
Colleen Harrington
I followed the recipe but splashed in some Pinot Griogio at the end, and it was incredibly good. I had qualms about the old bay seasoning but it worked. I used 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Served over warm orzo tossed with EVOO, some fresh chopped mint and fresh chopped grape tomatoes, and the cucumber salad mentioned above. So glad I made enough for leftovers!
William Jimenez
Liked it
Brian Taylor
Tastes great, however, season to personal taste. First time I made it, it was too spicy for us to eat. Also, I ended up adding more lemon and garlic then the recipe asks for.
Robert Saunders
Absolutely fabulous I doubled the ingredients with 2 lbs of 25-30 count medium shrimp and finished the sauce at the end with a couple tablespoons of butter. Amazing flavor – will definitely make again!!!
John Chavez
An easy recipe, as always, if you don’t overcook the shrimp or turn the garlic bitter it turns out very tasty. The two items mentioned benefit from similar ideal cooking times.
Mr. Anthony Matthews
My family loved every bite.
Lori Johnson
I followed this recipe to a “T” as we love shrimp and this looked like a great recipe. The amount of red crushed peppers was an overkill and was way to spicy for my guest. I love myself love spicy food but this recipe was Hot and is not for the faint at heart eaters. Next time I make this I will likely cut the crushed pepper to 1/4 of what is suggested.
Rebecca Martinez
Loved it! My husband who is not a fan of shrimp tried it, and proceeded to eat till I had to cut him off! My son, The shrimp lover, said it was the best shrimp he had ever had! Will be a new staple!
Melanie Lopez
Love this recipe, I noted I had no lemons so instead used lime and zest as a substitute. Added to pasta with chicken stock and Wine reduction as a sauce.
Brian Wilson
Like other reviewers mentioned, I didn’t stick to the portion of seasoning, I just sprinkled the seasoning to the degree I liked and the shrimp came out delicious
Bryan Barrett
These were delicious I didn’t add red pepper flakes but I just mixed it all up and sautéed it. Will make again
Derrick Hogan DVM
No change. Very good.
Mr. Jeffery Henderson
It was very spicy, would use less red pepper flakes.
Stephen Henderson
I’m a bad cook and this was a spur of the moment make that turned out really well! Will use less red pepper next time. Very good. Husband loved it too.
Amy Mcguire
Such great flavor! Even my kids loved it!
Joshua Anderson
This was an excellent dish! I did add a little oil in the pan as others suggested. Next time only 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes. 1 tsp. was too much for us. Thanks for the recipe! Will definitely make again!
Heather Moody
This recipe was fantastic. I did add a step, which was to pat the shrimp dry before putting it in the skillet.
Charles Brown
Super easy to make and my picky family loved it!!!
