ingredients

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, chopped
¹⁄₄ cup white wine
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs (optional)
1 lemon, cut into wedges (for garnish) (optional)

directions

Dry shrimp on a layer of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place shrimp in a bowl and toss with paprika. Set aside.
Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over med-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Add wine, salt and pepper and reduce by half. Add shrimp and cook on one side about 2-3 minutes to sear. Do not shake the pan at this point and it's important not to overcrowd the shrimp to sear and caramelize properly.
After one side is seared, begin to shake the pan and toss shrimp to continue cooking another minute or two. Sprinkle with parsley (and also the optional seasoned bread crumbs if using) and saute'/toss one more minute. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

Loved it! Added the lemon with the wine, great flavor. My kids ate all of it even though they were not happy about the wine lol. Thank you! :o)

I followed the directions down to the minute and this was the absolute best shrimp I've ever made. As far as ingredients, I added a tiny amount of powdered cayenne pepper to the pan as I sauteed the garlic. The white wine I had on hand was Pear wine. It was a little sweeter than I thought I should use, but there was a little left in the bottle and I didn't want to open a new one! PS I'd give it 10 stars if I could! P

Made for an unexpected guest and what a hit! I did add some red pepper flakes but otherwise I followed the instructions. Served over buttered noodles and added a green salad. Thank you for posting. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag game.

I squirted the lemon right in with the wine while preparing it. We loved it! I served it over linguine and had a small salad on the side with garlic bread. What a great combination and a great meal!
