Who can resist a recipe for garlic shrimp? This one was inspired out of nostalgia for Marcelita's famous garlic shrimp. It is a delicious recipe with depth of flavor. It can be served with rice or over pasta. Delish!

3



tablespoons chopped garlic fresh or from a jar (see tip)

teaspoons paprika





fresh ground sea salt, to taste (see tip)





fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/2



cup olive oil
2



tablespoons butter
1




whole tomato chopped

  1. In a large Ziplock freezer bag, mix everything except the butter and swish it around good to coat all of the shrimp.
  2. Or, mix everything in a large bowl and cover TIGHTLY with Saran wrap.
  3. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat large heavy bottom pan with the butter in it on medium.
  5. Toss shrimp around for about 10 minutes until pink and lightly browned.
