Shrimp casserole with butter is a hot seafood dish of shrimp cooked in butter in a small casserole, a preparation familiar in Turkish-style seafood restaurants. Garlic and seasonings are often used, though recipes vary; the defining combination is tender shrimp and buttery cooking juices.
It is usually brought to the table sizzling and served as a starter or shared dish, with bread for dipping. For English-speaking diners, it also works as a simple main alongside a crisp salad or vegetables. Shrimp makes it protein-rich, while the butter contributes much of its richness: a 100 g portion has 20.8 g of protein. Use a measured amount of butter and add lemon or fresh herbs if you want a brighter, lighter-tasting plate.
