I Challenged My Hubby To Make Hawaii's Famous Garlic Shrimp Scampi

I challenged my hubby who NEVER cooks to make one of my recipes, so he made my version of Hawaii’s Famous Garlic Shrimp Scampi! Buttery, garlicy shrimp served over rice, just like they did at the food truck and omg it came out AMAZING!!! Seriously, I was so impressed and
there were no leftovers. Maybe he should cook more often 🤔lol.
Hawaii’s Famous Garlic Shrimp Scampi

Ingredients
1 1/2- 2 lbs shrimp, peeled
2 teaspoons paprika
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 head of garlic, minced
1 lemon, cut into slices

Directions
Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and
season well with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl combine flour, paprika and season with salt and pepper.
Toss shrimp with flour mixture so that it’s evenly coated.
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted stir in garlic. Season garlic with a little salt. Cook while stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic! Remove and set aside.
Wipe pan clean and heat a little oil over medium high heat. Cook shrimp in 2 batches. Cook until cooked through about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
When the last batch is just finished cooking return the rest of the shrimp back to the pan along with the garlic butter. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Serve over rice and squeeze lemon juice over the top if desired.
