Make authentic, juicy Hawaiian garlic shrimp right at home. This recipe delivers the rich, buttery flavor you expect from the famous food trucks, served simply with fluffy white rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 cups cooked white rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  4. Stir in the paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet in a single layer if possible.
  6. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp juicy.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
  8. Spoon the garlic butter sauce from the pan over the shrimp.
  9. Serve the **buttery grilled shrimp** immediately over the prepared steamed rice for an **easy shrimp and rice dinner**.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use fresh garlic; jarred minced garlic will not provide the same depth.
  • If you prefer a slightly spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the paprika.
  • This sauce is excellent for dipping your rice into, so make sure you have plenty of the **garlic butter shrimp recipe** sauce remaining in the pan.
