- Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them lightly with salt, white pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
- Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble gently, but do not let it brown.
- Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Cook the Shrimp: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.
- Add Lemon Juice: Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the shrimp. Toss to combine and enhance the flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious butter garlic shrimp with your favorite side dishes!
