Step 1

In a skillet or shallow pan, brown half of the garlic in the oil over low to medium heat. Spoon the browned garlic and set aside. This would be used for garnish.

Step 2

In the same pan or skillet, add the butter and remaining garlic. Cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is aromatic. Pour in the Sprite. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes or just until the liquid is reduced.

Step 3

Add the shrimp or prawn. Season with a little salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp has fully changed its color and is cooked through. if you are cooking shelled prawns or shrimp, just cook until they are fully opaque. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 4

Remove the shrimp from the sauce and reduce the sauce some more, if desired. Otherwise, serve the shrimps in a platter and pour over the remaining sauce all over. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice (optional). Garnish with the browned garlic. You may also sprinkle it with some chopped cilantro or parsley to add a bit of color. Serve over rice. Enjoy.
