Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Shrimp

    Peel and devein the large shrimp, leaving the tails intact for presentation.

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    Season the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine melted garlic butter, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the cleaned shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
