Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 12 ounces of large peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2 minutes on one side until the edges turn pink and slightly crisp.
  3. Step 3: Flip the shrimp and add 1 thinly sliced medium red bell pepper and 1 cup trimmed snap peas. Stir-fry everything together for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, stirring to coat all ingredients. Season with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and cook for another 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley before serving immediately.
