I have not had these shrimp at the Chili's restaurant, but have frequently made this recipe. We like to serve them as appetizers. However, they are equally as good tossed with some pasta (with or without alfredo sauce). The recipe came from Top Secret Recipes and has been a favorite at our house for quite some time.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, pressed
24 fresh large shrimp, peeled (about 1 pound)
1 lime

Seasoning

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1
Make the seasoning blend by combining all the spices in a small bowl.
2
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
3
Add butter to the pan.
4
When the butter is melted, stir in the pressed garlic.
5
Immediately, add the shrimp to the pan.
6
Cut the lime in half and squeeze each half into the pan over the shrimp.
7
Sprinkle the entire seasoning blend over the shrimp, and give it all a good stir.
8
Saute the shrimp for 5 to 8 minutes or until they begin to brown.
9
Be sure to cook both sides of all the shrimp.

LOVED it - great recipe! I doubled the garlic (we love it) and did not press it - just chopped and added some fresh cilantro. Also reduced salt a bit to be on the safe side per some other comments. Was perfect. Served it with lemon-pepper pasta. Husband loved it - quick meal. Will DEFINITELY make it again. Might become my go-to-recipe!

I thought this was a little salty. Also I increased the garlic to 2 cloves corsely chopped. And I had smaller limes that might be why I needed to squeeze a second one over the shrimp after wards. Other than that they were nice, I didn't detect much heat- but then again I like heat a lot. Thanks so much

There's a HUGE mistake here. This amount is only enough for half a person!!! OMG, this is wonderful. I cut the recipe in half, thinking that 12 shrimp and a huge fruit salad would be enough. No, no, no, I want more, you hear, I want more. I followed the recipe exactly as posted, EXCEPT I think I probably doubled the garlic (I'm a garlic lover). I also accidentally dumped too much thyme in the bowl. No problem. Thanks, Ms. Bold, for my new weekly "get healthy" dish. This was simple, delicious, and I just can't rave enough.
