A delightful shrimp dish infused with garlic and butter, enhanced with a touch of lemon zest for a refreshing twist.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet.
Cook the shrimp in a single layer for even cooking.
Grate the zest of the lemon over the shrimp and squeeze in the juice.
Zest the lemon before juicing for easier handling.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with chopped parsley.
Chop the parsley finely for a more even garnish.
Serve the shrimp hot with your choice of side.
Pair with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
