Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp 

This dish captures the essence of Hawaii's famous shrimp trucks, offering succulent shrimp bathed in a rich, garlicky butter sauce. It's a quick and flavorful main course that's perfect for both busy weeknights and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

• 1 lb extra-large shrimp (21–30 count per pound), peeled and deveined

• 1/4 cup minced fresh garlic (about 1 medium head)

• 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika

• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, diced into 1 Tbsp pieces

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with flour, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. In a large 12-inch non-stick skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat.

4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.

5. Add the shrimp in a single layer to the skillet. Cook on the first side until the bottom turns pink, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook the other side until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more.

6. Remove the skillet from heat. Toss the shrimp with fresh lemon juice and garnish with parsley, if desired.

7. Serve immediately, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp.
