Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 Lemon, juiced
• 0 Cooked white rice or crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbly.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Stir in the paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to evenly coat the butter mixture with spices.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink.

Step 6

Flip the shrimp over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are fully opaque and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley for a fresh, bright finish.

Step 8

Transfer the hot buttered garlic shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with cooked white rice or crusty bread to soak up the buttery sauce.
