Butter Garlic Shrimp

My last trip this year was to Hawaii, so I was inspired today to make Giovanni’s Shrimp Trucks butter garlic shrimp. This was pretty simple to make and definitely brought me back to Oahu.

INGREDIENTS: 

- 1 pound shrimp deveined with shell on (you can take the shell off if you prefer) 

- 2 tablespoons flour 

- 1 tablespoon paprika 

- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 

- 1 teaspoon salt 

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 

- 1 stick butter 

- 1 head garlic minced

- 3 tablespoons oil

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. Pat shrimp dry and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, combine flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Mix well. 

3. Add shrimp to mixture, toss and coat. Set aside. 

4. In a large pan, melt butter. 

5. Add garlic to butter and cook until golden. 

6. Pour garlic butter into a bowl. 

7. In the same pan, add oil and place shrimp in. Cook each side for 2 minutes. 

8. Pour garlic butter back into the pan and mix well with shrimp for about 1 minute. 

9. Serve with rice or pasta and squeeze some lemon on it!
