Pat the shrimp dry then season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Use a microplane to zest the lime and set aside. Cut the zested lime in half ready for the sauce later in the recipe.
Add one tablespoon of the butter to a wide skillet. Save the remaining two tablespoons for later. Place the skillet with butter over medium heat then add the garlic and coriander. Stir the garlic around the pan until the butter melts and is bubbling; about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, nestling them into the pan so that they are in one layer. A few shrimp stacked on top of each other is okay.
Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1 minute. Stir in the scallions and lime zest. Continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout; another 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the skillet off of the heat.
MAKE BUTTER SAUCE
With the skillet off of the heat, add the cilantro, juice from the lime and the remaining two tablespoons of butter.
Stir the butter around the pan so that it melts into the lime juice making the creamy butter sauce. Taste then season as needed with salt and pepper. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
ADAM AND JOANNE'S TIPS
* How to make garlic butter shrimp: Swap lime for lemon and the cilantro for parsley then follow the recipe as written above. For an extra bit of flavor, add a splash of dry white wine at the end along with the lemon juice.
* How to make spicy garlic shrimp: Add 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes to the pan at the same time as adding the garlic.
* While the sauce will not be as creamy, you can substitute olive oil for the butter. You will need one tablespoon for cooking the shrimp and only a light drizzle at the end (about 1/2 tablespoon).
