Description
This Hawaiian shrimp is buttery, garlicky, and packed with savory flavor with a lightly crisp coating. It comes together quickly in one skillet for an easy seafood dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 12 oz shrimp, cleaned and deveined
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 7 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh chopped parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a large resealable bag, combine paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and flour. Shake until well mixed.
- Add the cleaned shrimp to the bag, seal tightly, and shake until the shrimp are evenly coated.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the olive oil. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and golden brown.
- Return the sautéed garlic to the skillet and gently stir everything together.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and let the shrimp rest briefly before serving.
Notes
- Serve with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce.
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, but thawed frozen shrimp also work well.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
