  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon hot Spanish paprika
  • ½ cup white wine
  • Hot sauce such as Tabasco to taste

Instructions
 
  • Ensure that you have peeled the jumbo shrimp and removed any veins.

  • Sauté the onions and garlic In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
    Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, then cook until the onions become slightly golden and soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of paprika over the onions and garlic, stirring to combine.
    This will give the dish its signature African flavors.
  • Add the peeled shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
  • Carefully pour the white wine into the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the hot sauce, salt, and pepper to taste, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
    Let it cook for another 6-8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly reduce.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley.
