A quick and flavorful shrimp dish made in the microwave, perfect for a speedy yet delicious meal.
Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, leaving the tails intact.
Leaving the tails on adds flavor and makes for a better presentation.
Place the shrimp in a microwave-safe dish.
Ensure the shrimp are in a single layer for even cooking.
Melt the butter and mix it with minced garlic, dry sherry, smoked paprika, and chopped spring onions.
Microwave the butter for a few seconds to melt it quickly.
Pour the sauce over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the shrimp.
Microwave the dish on high for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Check the shrimp for doneness; they should be opaque and pink.
Serve the shrimp hot with crusty bread or your choice of side.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
