Follow these simple steps to create your own Garlic Butter Shrimp and Rice:

1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of broth to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
3. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink.
4. Make Garlic Butter: Add the remaining butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir to combine.
5. Combine: Add the cooked rice to the skillet with shrimp, and mix until well coated in the garlic butter sauce. If the mixture appears dry, add additional broth as needed.
6. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh finish.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your savory Garlic Butter Shrimp and Rice while hot.
