Garlic Shrimp Plate

Large shrimp does the heavy lifting here, with butter rounding it out. A Hawaiian lunch that takes 30 minutes, start to finish. The macros do the talking: 52g protein, 59g carbs, and 44g fat in every 851-calorie serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 2 lb Large shrimp
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 8 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 Lemon
• 4 cups White rice

Steps

1. Pat the shrimp very dry and season with salt and paprika — dry shrimp sear, wet shrimp steam.
2. Sizzle the sliced garlic in butter and oil until golden at the edges, never brown.
3. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook 2 minutes per side until pink and curled.
4. Squeeze over lemon, shower with parsley, and serve over rice with all the garlicky butter spooned on top.
5. Do not waste the garlicky butter in the pan — it is liquid gold over the rice.
