Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels. Place them in a bowl and add salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add ghee.
Once the ghee has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter sauce.
Add the lemon juice and toss again to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp and give it a final toss.
Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges, if desired.
