Instructions
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the shrimp marinade.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
