Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Shrimp
  1. Start by patting the extra large shrimp dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl.
  2. Sprinkle the shrimp with all-purpose flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat each shrimp.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
