Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the potato cubes in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss everything together gently to combine, ensuring the potatoes are coated in the garlic butter sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and give it one final stir.
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
