Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.05 kg before cooking, which is about 260 g per serving.
Steps
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter.
Add the shrimp directly to the skillet, followed by the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, Spanish-style paprika, granulated onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, and sea salt.
Toss everything well so each shrimp is coated in the butter and seasonings.
Sauté for approximately 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and fully cooked.
Finish with the lemon zest and juice of one lemon. Toss so the buttery, zesty sauce coats the shrimp.
Notes
The post suggests serving the shrimp over rice or eating them straight from the skillet; no rice is included in the ingredient list. No exact serving count or prep time is stated, so these are estimated.
