Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- French bread or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to sizzle.
Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Sprinkle the shrimp with Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes on one side.
Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully opaque.
Pour in the lemon juice and toss the shrimp to coat them in the garlic-rosemary butter sauce.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the shrimp for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately with French bread to soak up the sauce or over cooked rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
