Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Montreal steak seasoning
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and begins to bubble slightly.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle in the Montreal steak seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes, and stir well to combine with the garlic mixture.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and start to curl.
Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked. The shrimp should be opaque and firm to the touch.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the shrimp with fresh lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
