Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Infuse the Butter
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the minced garlic, diced scallions, and diced Scotch bonnet pepper. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavours to infuse the butter without the garlic burning. The kitchen should become very fragrant.
Add Aromatics
Add the fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet and stir for another minute.
Cook the Shrimp
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Finish and Serve
Turn off the heat. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the shrimp and stir to combine. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.
