Hawaiian Shrimp Recipes

HAWAIIAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place paprika, salt, black pepper, and flour in a large resealable bag. Shake well to mix.
• Add the shrimp to the bag, seal it and shake to coat the shrimp with the flour mixture. Set aside.
• Add the butter to a large 12 inch cast iron skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped garlic, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until you see the garlic is translucent and dark. It will cook fast!
• Remove the garlic from the pan and add olive oil to the pan. Once heated, add your shrimp to the pan.
• Cook the shrimp over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Do not overcrowd the pan.
• Once all the shrimp is cooked, pour the removed garlic over the shrimp right inside the skillet. Reheat, stir to combine and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
