This easy, simple, and fast pan seared shrimp is sautéed with butter and olive oil to create crispy browned shrimp on the outside and tender juicy shrimp on the inside.
Serve simple sautéed buttery shrimp over a salad, as an appetizer, over pasta, or over your favorite grain or vegetable. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Place shrimp in a single layer into the pan and cook for 1 ½ - 2 minutes or until one side is seared. Don't disturb the shrimp before seeing a sear on the bottom side.
Flip shrimp and cook for 30 seconds - 1 minute or until the shrimp is cooked through. The second side will sear faster than the first and doesn't need as much time unless the shrimp are big.
