Pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Sauté garlic:
In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and olive oil.
Once melted, add garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant (don’t let it brown).
Cook the shrimp:
Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side.
Flip, and cook another 1–2 minutes until opaque and slightly golden.
Finish it off:
Stir in lemon juice and parsley.
Spoon garlic butter from the pan over the shrimp to coat.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
🌟 Pro Tips:
Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or with garlic bread.
For a creamy version, add a splash of heavy cream or white wine after the garlic.
Don’t overcook the shrimp — they cook quickly and can turn rubbery if left too long
