Spicy Garlic Butter Shrimp

If your shrimp are not already prepared, peel and devein them, leaving the tails on.

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, sazon seasoning, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the shrimp and toss to coat them evenly.

Finely chop your fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat until hot.

Add the seasoned shrimp to the hot pan in a single layer and cook for about 30 seconds.

Flip the shrimp and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side. Immediately remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Lower the heat under the same pan and add the butter. Allow it to melt, reducing the heat further if it's melting too quickly.

Add the red pepper flakes to the melting butter. Once the butter is foamy, add the minced garlic.

Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and stir to combine with the garlic butter.

Once the garlic is fragrant, return the cooked shrimp to the pan.

Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs over the shrimp and toss everything together to coat the shrimp in the sauce. Serve immediately.
