A flavorful and quick shrimp dish perfect for any occasion.
Pat the shrimp dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Drying the shrimp ensures they sear properly, enhancing their flavor.
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Coating the shrimp evenly with paprika adds a smoky flavor to the dish.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Combining olive oil and butter prevents the butter from burning while cooking.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Reducing the wine concentrates its flavor, enhancing the sauce.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
Cooking the shrimp undisturbed allows them to develop a nice sear.
Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes, shaking the pan gently.
Shaking the pan ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and toss to combine.
Adding parsley at the end preserves its fresh flavor and vibrant color.
Serve the shrimp garnished with lemon wedges.
Lemon wedges add a bright, tangy finish to the dish.
