Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by patting the fresh shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl.
- Sprinkle all-purpose flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over the shrimp. Toss everything until the shrimp are evenly coated.
- In a large non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
- Carefully lay the coated shrimp in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes until pink on one side. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until fully cooked.
- Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp. Toss to combine, then garnish with parsley.
- Transfer the Garlic Shrimp to a serving platter and enjoy hot, paired with coconut rice or sautéed vegetables.

Notes
Ensure shrimp are completely dried before coating for best results. Watch the garlic closely to avoid bitterness.
