Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ pounds Shrimp peeled and deveined, large
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided, unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4-5 garlic minced, cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 small lemon juiced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil.
  3. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on one side until pink and slightly opaque. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, making sure not to brown the garlic.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  6. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce and heat through, 1-2 more minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Notes

  • Storage: Kept in the fridge in an airtight container, the shrimp will keep for 3 days. To reheat, you can warm the shrimp in a skillet over low heat.
