Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp
  1. Start by patting the large, peeled shrimp dry with a paper towel. Let them air dry for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, cayenne, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  3. Toss the dried shrimp in the seasoned flour mixture until well-coated. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and allow it to melt completely. Add minced garlic and sauté for roughly 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the coated shrimp in a single layer to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn opaque. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. Once cooked, remove from heat and serve hot, drizzling the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp.
