Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 whole lemon, juice and zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine shrimp, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly with the seasonings.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.
Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Add the lemon juice and zest to the skillet, tossing the shrimp to coat them in the lemony butter sauce.
Continue to cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon wedges if desired.
