Recipe: Lemon Garlic Shrimp

Inspired by the shrimp trucks we sampled in Maui when we last visited paradise in 2017, here's my own take of lemon garlic shrimp.  (Note: The shrimp trucks in Hawaii normally serve this plate with a scoop of coleslaw as well.  Anybody who knows me knows I hate vegetables so....)

Ingredients
12 LARGE shrimp per person
3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 - 3/4 cup shrimp stock (chicken stock will do)
NOTE: I make my own shrimp stock
garlic salt
black pepper
cayenne pepper
Juice of half a lemon

Instructions
1. Season the shrimp with garlic salt, pepper, and as much cayenne pepper as you can handle.
2. Heat the olive oil and butter
3. Coat the shrimp in the flour and shake off excess flour.
4. Sear both sides of the shrimp but leave them slightly undone.
5. Add the shrimp stock and lemon juice.
6. Add 1 tbsp of the flour to the stock.  The sauce should thicken.

Serve with a scoop of rice, a scoop of mac n cheese, and a scoop of cole slaw for an authentic Hawaiian shrimp truck feel.
