Garlic Shrimp and Peas
Juicy, tender shrimp swimming in a pool of garlicky, buttery goodness. Serve with crusty bread or pasta. SO SO GOOD!
That pool of buttery, garlicky, lemony goodness. Yes, yes, yes. I am here for all of this.
Not to mention using the leftover wine for serving. We don’t let anything go to waste here.
This also comes together very quickly in one pan in less than 30 minutes start to finish.
And you can serve with crusty bread as an appetizer or tossed with bucatini for a wholesome meal. You really can’t lose with either option.

This was soooo easy and so delicious! Kids loved it.
Delicious! We served over rice and the whole family loved it!
Made this exactly as written for dinner last night and everyone liked it!! Will definitely repeat.
Wow, I love SHRIMP very much, this recipe take me to another taste!!!
Made this last night & I must say it was yummy & easy. Used regular frozen peas and did not defrost them and added to shrimp while frozen, cover the pot for a few minutes as it does not take long for the peas to thaw. Served it over pasta and added some pasta water to this shrimp dish as needed more liquid than the recipe stated. This dish will definitely be in rotation at our home.
This looks delish! I have 2 huge bags of shrimp and have been looking for ideas. Do you have other suggestions besides peas that could be used? We don’t like peas. Broccoli? Anything else? Thank you!!!
I was wondering the same thing, green peas are high in sugar which is not good for me. I do love peas though.
Asparagus would be a good substitute for the peas. Or just leave them out altogether. this sounds fantastic, and I may need to make it for dinner tonight!
