Steps

1. Clean the shrimp10 min
Before preparing the shrimp, you must clean them, remove the shells and tails, and remove the veins from the top and bottom; the video provides more details on how to clean them.
2. Season4 min
In a bowl, combine onion powder, oregano, salt, paprika, and black pepper; stir to combine. Season the shrimp with all these seasonings, and if you want them to be crispier, add a little flour.
3. Sauté4 min
In a skillet over low heat, add butter and begin to add the shrimp, making sure they aren't crowded so that each one cooks thoroughly until they turn a light orange color. In another skillet or the same one, add olive oil, then add the diced garlic and lemon.
4. Combine everything2 min
Once you've sautéed the garlic with lemon, add the shrimp and parsley, stir everything together—and that's it! You can serve it with a salad or white rice.
