Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.

  2. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.

  5. Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional minute, ensuring the shrimp are well coated in the garlic butter sauce.

  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shrimp with chopped fresh parsley.
