  1. 1

    Melt butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp; cook and stir until the shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Whisk the water and cornstarch in a bowl to form a slurry. Pour it into the skillet and stir until the butter sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
