I’ve been trying to make garlic butter shrimp at home, but it never tastes as rich or flavorful as the ones from restaurants. Mine usually ends up a bit bland or watery, even though I follow basic recipes.

Here’s what I usually do: I sauté garlic in butter, add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sometimes add lemon juice. The shrimp cooks fine, but the flavor just doesn’t hit the same.

What am I doing wrong? Should I be using more butter, different seasoning, or a specific cooking technique like timing or heat level? Also, how do restaurants get that deeper, richer flavor?

Any tips or tricks would really help. Thanks!
