Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb (680g) Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ tsp (3g) Salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) Black pepper
  • ½ tsp (2g) Paprika
  • 4 tbsp (57g) Unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves (12g) Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (4g) Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry using paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
  2. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp (28g) of butter; wait until the butter stops foaming and begins to brown.
  4. Place shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until mahogany-colored.
  5. Flip the shrimp and immediately add the minced garlic to the pan.
  6. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until shrimp are opaque and garlic is fragrant. The internal temperature should hit 145°F/63°C.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat. Immediately stir in the remaining 2 tbsp (28g) of cold butter and the lemon juice to emulsify the sauce.
  8. Stir in the fresh parsley and serve immediately.
