Spicy Garlic and Lime Shrimp

These spicy shrimp are great as an appetizer. Alternatively, you can put it on top of a salad for a shrimp Caesar salad.


Ingredients

For the seasoning:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

2 Tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, chopped finely
1 pound medium shrimp
1 lime

Instructions

Make seasoning mix by combining all of the spices in a small bowl.
Peel shrimp.
Cut lime in half.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter to the pan to melt.
When butter is melted, add the garlic. Immediately add the shrimp to the pan.
Squeeze each half of the lime into the pan over the shrimp. Sprinkle all the seasoning over the shrimp. Stir all to mix.
Saute the shrimp for 5 - 8 minutes or until they are cooked through and begin to brown.
Stir to cook both sides of the shrimp.
