Ingredients
- 20 large shrimp 1 pound, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to a large bowl.
- Add in spices and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well and coat the shrimp.
Cooking Steps
- Heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the butter and olive oil. When the fat shimmers in the pan, add in the shrimp from the mixing bowl, ensuring they are laying flat in the pan and that the pan is not overcrowded.
- After about 2 minutes (or less depending on how hot your pan is), the shrimp will start to turn from a translucent gray to an opaque pink. This is when it is time to flip them in the pan.
- When all the shrimp have been flipped, cook until they are opaque white / pink throughout.
- Remove from the pan and garnish.
- Serve immediately or set aside to be used in another recipe.
