Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons sweet paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 ½ lb shrimp, cleaned and deveined, patted dry with paper towels.
¼ cup canola oil
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
24 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
¼ cup fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spices.
  • Add the canola oil and 8 tablespoons of butter to a 12-inch (30 cm) cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add 10-12 shrimp to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip, season lightly with salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the shells are crispy and the shrimp is pink and opaque. Remove from pan and set on a serving dish. Add 1-2 more tablespoons of butter to the pan and repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Once the shrimp are cooked, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the garlic to the pan and sauté briefly, about 1 minute, until fragrant but still somewhat pungent. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice all over the shrimp.
  • Pour the garlic butter over the shrimp, then garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
