Garlic Butter Shrimp is not only a tasty appetizer, but also a healthy one. Shrimp is a low-calorie, high-protein food that is rich in nutrients such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. Adding some veggies like asparagus or zucchini to the skillet can make this dish even more nutritious.
