- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and begins to bubble slightly.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the Montreal steak seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes, and stir well to combine with the garlic mixture.
Step 5
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and start to curl.
Step 6
Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked. The shrimp should be opaque and firm to the touch.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the shrimp with fresh lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.

Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
