Instructions

Step 1: Melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foaming. Add 5 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes without stirring to develop a slight sear.
Step 3: Flip shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes until opaque and pink throughout. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4: Remove skillet from heat and stir in 2 tbsp fresh calamansi juice and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to coat shrimp in garlic butter sauce. Serve immediately.
