Lemon Garlic Recipes

GARLIC LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat all ingredients until blended. Refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.

LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in the melted butter. Cook chicken, flipping frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder over chicken; flip and sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder on second side. Cook each side for 2 minutes.
• Pour lemon juice over each side of chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

LEMON AND GARLIC RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.
• Add the garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the lemon juice and cook for a further minute.
• Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice with the liquid mixture, being careful not to burn the rice.
• Add the chicken stock (or crumble in the stock cubes and add boiling water), stir and cover to cook, turning down the heat.
• Check on the rice while cooking to ensure it does not run out of liquid and boil dry.
• After 20 minutes, remove the lid and stir. The rice should still have a little too much liquid at this stage so cook uncovered until the rice is done and the liquid is all absorbed.
• Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and serve hot!

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic, and pepper flakes all at once and stir together. Add seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper and mix until combined.
• Cook and stir until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

EASY GARLIC-LEMON SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and cook for a few seconds until fragrant. Add scallops, and cook for several minutes on one side, then turn over, and continue cooking until firm and opaque.
• Remove scallops to a platter, then whisk salt, pepper, and lemon juice into butter. Pour sauce over scallops to serve.
