Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 pound Fresh shrimp Preferred over frozen for best flavor and texture
  • 1/4 cup Flour Helps create a light crust around the shrimp
For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and depth to the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Prevents butter from burning
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced, key for aroma
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Provides depth and a subtle smokiness
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper Optional for added heat
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
For the Finish
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice Adds brightness
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley Optional, for freshness

Equipment

  • 12-inch non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting the fresh shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp with flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding olive oil and butter. Melt completely for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Carefully add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes until pink on one side, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and drizzle lemon juice over shrimp, tossing gently. Garnish with parsley if desired.
  6. Serve hot with warm bread, rice, or salad.
