Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and melt half of the butter. Then whisk in the chicken stock, lemon juice, and shrimp. Bring to bubbling, and stir often. After the shrimp begins to turn pink, add in the remaining butter and minced garlic, and then cook until the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat immediately to prevent over-cooking.
  2. Cook the pasta.
  3. Prepare the salad.
  4. Serve Garlic Butter Shrimp over pasta with side salad.
