Steps:
- Add the shrimp to a gallon size ziplock bag or medium size bowl with the olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, flour, cayenne pepper and pepper. Toss well to combine, seal the bag or cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 2 hours or up 24 hours.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot use a slotted spoon to scoop the shrimp out of the marinade and into the hot skillet, season with salt and pepper. Make sure to scoop up all the garlic as well. Saute the shrimp until pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan leaving the garlic in the skillet.
- Add the salted butter and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or more or less to your taste) to the skillet. Cook the garlic in the butter until it begins to caramelize and turn golden brown. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, the juice of 1/2 a lemon and zest if using. Drizzle with the warm garlic butter over the shrimp. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve with steamed white rice, lemon wedge and a slice of pineapple, if desired.

Steps:
- In a large heavy skillet set over moderately high heat, heat the oil until it is hot, add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is pale golden.
- Add the red pepper flakes and the shrimp and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the shrimp are pink and just firm to the touch.
- Sprinkle shrimp with the paprika and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Add the Sherry, boil the mixture for 30 seconds, and sprinkle with parsley.
- Season the mixture with the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Medium or large shrimp with their shells on work best for this recipe. Avoid pre-cooked shrimp, as they will likely be tough and rubbery.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much more intense flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder in place of each clove.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will steam instead of sauté and will not get crispy.
- Cook the shrimp in batches: If you are cooking a lot of shrimp, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it is important to not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve immediately: Garlic shrimp is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the shrimp and then reheat them in a hot pan or oven before serving.
Conclusion:
Garlic shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and flavorful dish that your family and friends will love.
