Smoky Brown Butter Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 pound raw peeled and deveined shrimp
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed

Directions

1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Once it's dry, season it with the salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder and cumin. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once it's melted and begins to sizzle, add the shrimp in batches (don't overcrowd it!) and cook on both sides until pink. The butter will brown as the shrimp cooks and you can whisk it occasionally to prevent it from burning. When the shrimp is finished, stir in the garlic and cook for a second then place the shrimp on a plate. Repeat.
