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