Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail-on)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 unit Lemon (sliced for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
- 2 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Clean and pat dry the shrimp. In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the shrimp and gently toss until lightly coated on all sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and become bubbly.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Place the shrimp in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the skillet. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is well combined.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the garlic lemon butter sauce. Heat for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices.
Serve immediately over a bed of cooked white rice (optional) and enjoy!
