Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp mixture to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Finish with Butter and Lemon

    Add the butter and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the butter is melted and the shrimp are well coated.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the shrimp warm, ideally with rice or pasta.
