Steps

1 Done	Prep the shrimp If not already done, peel and devein the shrimp, then pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps them sear better in the pan.
2 Done	Cook the shrimp Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3 Done	Make the garlic butter sauce In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4 Done	Add seasoning Stir in paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.
5 Done	Return shrimp to skillet Add the shrimp back into the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until they’re well-coated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the shrimp soak in the flavors.
6 Done	Finish and serve Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. Serve the garlic butter shrimp with your favorite side dish—rice, pasta, or a salad.
7 Done	Optional You can serve this dish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor or pair it with garlic bread for an even more indulgent meal. Enjoy your garlic butter shrimp! 🍤🧄🧈🍋🌿😋
