Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, which helps them sear better when cooking.
Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Add Fresh Flavors: Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir to combine. Let it cook for an additional 30 seconds to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Serving Suggestion: Serve your garlic shrimp over pasta, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. This dish is guaranteed to be a hit with family and guests!
Enjoy your Garlic Shrimp — a true delight bursting with bold, savory flavors.
