Full Recipe:

Ingredients 

• 1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• ¼ cup minced fresh garlic (approximately 1 medium head)

• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour

• 1½ teaspoons paprika

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

• White rice, for serving

Directions

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

2. Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in this mixture until evenly coated.

3. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook the other side until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more.

4. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Finish the Dish: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and parsley.

6. Serve: Serve the shrimp immediately over white rice, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top.
