Buttered Italian Shrimp is an easy to make, delicious, quick weeknight meal. It also makes a great appetizer for parties. It's made with only 4 ingredients, and the whole family loves it.
Shrimp is one of those dishes that often goes overlooked by home cooks, but it is a simple and often elegant meal that will impress guests and family alike. It's also a relatively inexpensive protein. You can easily get cleaned, fresh and uncooked shrimp at the grocery store these days. With 4 simple ingredients you probably have in your fridge and pantry right now, you really should try this recipe at least once! 
I gave this recipe to my friend Melanie over at The Painted Chandelier, and she has made it quite a few times for her house of boys. She loves it, mainly because it's so easy to make, and it's something different than their typical weeknight meals. Italian Shrimp is one of the best and easiest shrimp recipes I have ever made, or eaten!
There is just nothing better than a recipe with few ingredients that can work for a weeknight dinner or as a fancy appetizer for parties. Your guests will never know how simple this was to make. Slightly tangy, full of decadent butter and lemon – it's just perfection. Just add some cute toothpicks from the party store, serve on a beautiful bed of greens, and you're set.
Serve the buttered Italian shrimp with a crusty baguette for dipping, and a side salad.
I promise you will not be disappointed! Give it a try and let me know what you think! Enjoy.
