Instructions

1
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke; add the oil.
2
Season the Shrimp generously on both sides and sear undisturbed until a deep crust forms, about three minutes.
3
Flip and add the butter, basting as it foams with Garlic for another two to three minutes.
4
Move the Shrimp to a plate and soften Smoked Paprika in the pan drippings, scraping the crusty bits loose.
5
Deglaze with a splash of stock or water and reduce to a quick pan sauce, seasoning to taste.
6
Rest the Shrimp, then serve smothered in the pan sauce with the buttery drippings pooled over.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the smoked paprika in the oil before adding anything wet.
