This Mexican-style garlic shrimp is simmered with butter, olive oil, and lots of garlic and onion. I added smoked paprika to the mix for an added smoky flavor, fresh lime juice to balance the garlic with a tangy twist, and fresh parsley for brightness.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 pounds large shrimp, defrosted, peeled, and deveined
  • 1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (flat-leaf or Italian)

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. In a small bowl combine paprika and salt.
  2. Season the shrimp with spice mixture.
  3. Add the Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt to a frying pan over medium heat until it begins to melt.
  4. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the shrimp and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until they are completely cooked through.
  6. Add the lime juice and parsley.
  7. Enjoy with white rice, angel hair pasta, or tortillas.
