4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broccoli Rice: In a food processor, pulse the broccoli florets until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.

    Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper.

        Combine: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together. Heat for an additional minute to combine flavors.

          Serve: Plate the broccoli rice and top with garlic butter shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
