Garlic Butter Shrimp with Rice Pilaf is a classic dish that originated in the coastal regions of the Mediterranean. The succulent shrimp are sautéed in a rich, garlicky butter sauce and served alongside fragrant, fluffy rice pilaf. This dish has been perfected by renowned chefs in coastal restaurants, where the freshest shrimp are sourced directly from the sea. The key to this dish lies in the quality of the shrimp and the aromatic blend of garlic and butter. For a twist, some chefs add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to enhance the flavors. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in seaside eateries known for their expertise in seafood preparation.
