Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) shelled and deveined shrimp, tail-on
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes ground black pepper
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped thymes
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped oregano

Instructions
- Defrost the shrimp, rinse with cold water and pat very dry with paper towels. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a microwave, about 30 seconds. Add the thymes, oregano, parsley and lemon juice to the butter. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
- Heat up a skillet (cast-iron preferred) on high heat. When the skillet is heated, add the olive oil. Swirl the olive oil to coat evenly on the skillet, then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp, not stirring, for about 1 - 2 minutes on each side until they are cooked. Pour in the lemon herb butter, let it sizzle a little bit. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Notes
You can be creative with the herbs. Use whatever you have: rosemary, basil, chives, etc. Combine at least 2 to 3 herbs for amazing flavors and aromas. I buy all my shrimp from Target, the brand is Market Pantry in the frozen food aisle. You can get it for as low as $6.95 per pack (during sales).Nutrition
