Scale

To make this delicious Garlic Butter Shrimp Skillet, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a Garlic Butter Shrimp Skillet that is brimming with flavor:

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
  5. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir well to coat the shrimp in the garlic butter sauce.
  6. Add Lemon Juice: Drizzle the lemon juice over the shrimp and give it a quick stir.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp for a fresh touch. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
