- In a bowl, combine shrimp with sweet paprika, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Marinate for about 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of salted butter. Sear shrimp for about 2 minutes until pink. Remove and keep warm.

Notes
