- Salt / Pepper to taste
- Paprika ½ tsp
- Butter 2 tbsp
- Extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp
- Garlic cloves (minced) 3-4 pcs

- Sprinkle the cleaned and dried shrimp with spices: salt, pepper, and paprika
- Chop the garlic cloves with a knife and finely chop the parsley
- Grate the lemon peel separately and then squeeze out its juice using a juicer
- Pour oil and butter into a heated pan. Fry the crushed garlic and red pepper for 30 seconds, or until the garlic is golden brown, then immediately remove all the cloves
- Instead, add the prepared shrimp to the pan and fry until cooked through for 3-5 minutes, depending on their size
- At the end, turn off the heat (or remove the pan from the stove). Pour in the lemon juice, add the zest, mix everything together, and serve immediately while hot
Notes
It’s advisable to follow the recommendation of cooking shrimp in a combination of butter and oil, as this enhances the flavor and adds depth to the dish.
Red pepper can be substituted with a spicy seasoning; just add a little during the frying stage of the garlic to infuse the dish with heat.
As an idea for another dish, you can add boiled pasta to the pan with the shrimp and sauce at the end. Mix everything and sprinkle with grated Parmesan for a delightful finish—I promise it will be delicious!
