Ingredients
- 1 pound extra large shrimp peeled and deveined
- ¼ cup minced fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- white rice for serving
Instructions
- Blot the shrimp dry of excess moisture on both sides.
- In a bowl, sprinkle with flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper and toss to coat the shrimp.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter with olive oil in a large skillet.
- Add shrimp in an even layer in the skillet. Cook on the first side until pinkish on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Then flip and cook the opposite side until just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Add the remaining butter and garlic and saute 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Remove from heat, toss with lemon and parsley.
- Serve right away with steamed white rice topped with extra garlic butter sauce from the pan.

Notes
- For max garlic flavor - use the kind that comes whole in it's own paper. The pre-peeled stuff doesn't yield as much flavor by a long shot.
- The recipe below calls for extra large shrimp but if you can't get your hands on extra large, use any size and adjust cooking time as needed.
- Remember that when you're cooking shrimp a general rule here's what shrimp should look like in it's cooking process: undercooked shrimp are a wide and flexible "U" shape, overcooked shrimp are an"O" shape and completely curls up on itself in a tight O, and perfectly cooked shrimp are a "C" in shape and ready to eat!
