Red Lobster Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe
The key is using good quality shrimp and not overcooking Red Lobster to keep them juicy and succulent. A splash of white wine adds depth to the sauce, but you can substitute chicken broth if you prefer. Serve the shrimp over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that irresistible garlic butter sauce.
