Preparation

Step 1

Devein shrimp, leaving the shells on.

Mix flour, paprika and cayenne pepper to coat the shrimp in.

Add clarified butter to a preheated skillet and add chopped garlic. Sautee the garlic for a minute then add the shrimp. (Garlic is a main ingredient, so make sure there is a lot!)

Salt lightly and cook one side of the shrimp for a few minutes. Turn the shrimp over and cook on the other for a few more minutes.

Add ⅛ cup of white wine and 2 tablespoons of regular butter. Cook until garlic starts to brown.

Serve hot with a slice of lemon over a bed of steamed white rice.
