Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is tender and opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
To reheat: Warm a pan over medium and quickly heat back up. Because the shrimp has already been cooked, you’ll want to briefly (but thoroughly) heat it through so it doesn’t become rubbery from reheating.
