Marinate 1 lb/450g shrimp in 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, 1/4 tsp salt and set aside for 15 minutes. Skip salt if using salted butter 2. Mince 3 cloves of garlic. Finely chop parsley/cilantro/coriander for garnish 3. Set aside 3 tbsp tomato paste or 1/2 cup tomato purée. Tomato paste cooks fast and is the preferred option. Tomato purée can also be used but needs to be cooked down properly 4. Heat 1 tsp oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan. The oil prevents butter from burning 5. Set flame to medium and sear shrimp for 1 minute per side. Don't overcrowd the pan or they won't sear well. Cook in batches and set aside 6. Set flame to low, add 2 tbsp butter, minced garlic, tomato paste (or purée) & 1/2 tsp chilli flakes 7. Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter. Cook gently until the tomato paste turns deep red and aromatic. If using tomato purée, cook until the oil separates 8. Add the seared shrimp and its juices. Stir and cook until its done (2-4 mins depending on the size) 9. Switch off the flame. Garnish with parsley or cilantro/coriander leaves 10. Serve with bread or a light salad _______________________________________ SUBSTITUTES: • No paprika? 1/2 tsp chilli powder+1/2 tsp sugar • No chilli flakes?
