Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 pieces Jalapeños (thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 piece Lime (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and lightly bubbling.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the sliced jalapeños to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle the paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper evenly over the shrimp.
Sauté the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the juice of one lime over the shrimp. Toss well to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the dish and serve immediately. Enjoy as-is or pair it with rice, tortillas, or a fresh green salad.
