Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)

How to Make Garlic Butter Shrimp with Crispy Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the thinly sliced potatoes in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  6. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Toss to coat the shrimp.
  7. Remove the crispy potato slices from the oven and plate them. Top with the garlic butter shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the shrimp are completely thawed if using frozen. Pat them dry for a nice sear.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet while cooking the shrimp; this helps them cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent burning; every oven is different.

Easy Variations

  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
  • Swap out the shrimp for scallops or chicken for a different protein.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the shrimp before serving for a bright finish.

What to Serve With It

  • A light green salad with a vinaigrette dressing
  • Steamed asparagus or green beans
  • Crusty garlic bread for dipping
  • A glass of chilled white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc

Storage and Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
