Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the shrimp and cook them for a minute or two until they just start to turn pink. Then sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of water to keep the spices from sticking or burning. Stir everything together and let the shrimp cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they’re nice and firm but not overdone. Just before taking the pan off the heat, stir in a bit of butter to add some richness. Give it one last mix and you’re ready to serve!
