Lemon Butter Garlic Shrimp

A trip to El Nido won't be complete without a serving of lemon butter garlic shrimp from local seafood restaurants.  How do they make it sweet and tangy?  I bumped into this recipe from panlasangpinoy.com  tweaked it to taste and voila!  It was a finger licking, shrimp sucking feast.

Ingredients:

1 kg medium sized shrimps
200ml lemon soda (sprite)
1/2c butter
2 bulbs of garlic, finely chopped
Salt
Pepper

1. Clean shrimps, devein.
2. Soak in lemon soda for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat pan, melt butter, add a tsp of oil to avoid burning.
4. Saute chopped garlic until light brown.
5. Add the shrimps, avoid mixing too frequently, let it cook one side at a time until light orange in color.
6. Add the used lemon soda, simmer to reduce to desired consistency.
