I have actually scheduled these Garlic Butter Shrimps post whilst I am in Paris, where I’m having a rather fabulous foodie adventure. I will be visiting markets and foodie spots, restaurants, taking cooking classes and meeting some famous chefs. Oh folks, I will be sharing my adventures with you when I get back. In the mean time, I wanted to talk about these easy Mexican Garlic Butter Shrimps (or Garlic Butter Prawns if you prefer). This recipe makes a great appetiser, perfect for serving at Cinco De Mayo parties. They are also a super easy side dish that pairs well with all sorts of mains.

This recipe for Quick Mexican Garlic Butter Shrimps is sure to do it.  Just serve with black beans, salsa and my homemade corn tortillas, and you have a delicious Mexican weeknight supper. I just looooove how versatile dish is.

How to Make Garlic Butter Shrimps (Garlic Butter Prawns)

These quick Mexican Garlic Butter Shrimps are so easy to make and delicious. They are made with just 8 ingredients – garlic, butter, olive oil,  cumin, chilli, spring onions, coriander and shrimps (or prawns).  You can cook them on a barbecue, on the grill or just on the stove in a frying pan – entirely up to you. I must say that I prefer the barbeque version, there’s something about the smoke flavour adding to the garlic and chilli.
