Garlic Butter Shrimp Bowl with Wild-Caught Gulf Shrimp

A quick and flavorful bowl featuring succulent wild-caught Gulf shrimp sautéed in garlic butter and served over fluffy grains with fresh toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb wild-caught Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
