  • Pro Tips

    • Choose fresh shrimp: They cook quickly and have the best texture.
    • Don’t overcook: Shrimp turn rubbery if left in the pan too long.
    • Wine substitute: If avoiding alcohol, use low-sodium chicken broth instead.
    • Meal prep: Seal cooked shrimp separately from pasta in Stash Proof bags to maintain texture and flavor.

  • Why it works with Stash Proof

    Vacuum sealing raw shrimp before cooking locks in freshness and prevents freezer burn. When stored in a Stash Proof bag, the shrimp retain their natural flavor and texture, making weeknight cooking faster and more reliable.

    Serve this garlic butter shrimp over your favorite pasta or roasted vegetables for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
