North Shore Shrimp Truck

I just got back from a short trip to Oahu and the one thing we didn't get to eat was Macky's! These are succulent HUGE shrimp covered in garlic scampi crack sauce. Unfortunately, it was raining in the northern part of Oahu the entire time so it was not really worth a trip up. However... the grocery store was having a big sale of those 12-15ct tiger shrimps and I had the perfect idea! Tonight we satisfied our shrimp truck craving and completed our hawaiian food binge. Here is the recipe if you decide to try it at home... just letting you know its really unhealthy and absolutely delicious! :)  

North Shore Shrimp Recipe
adapted from thegourmandmom

Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, shell on, deveined
• 3/4 cup clarified butter 
• 1 head garlic, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1-2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 lemon, cut into slices or wedges

*clarified butter has a higher boiling point and prevents the garlic from burning (here's a step by step)
Directions

1. Combine the flour, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a dish. Toss the shrimp in the flour mixture to coat. (There will be flour leftover.) 
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the clarified butter and garlic. Cook for a minute or two
3. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then turn the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes on the other side. 
4. Add the white wine and salt. Cook for a minute or two. 
5. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the shrimp. Serve with a side of white rice and a lemon wedge.
