Mix the salt, paprika, white pepper, and cayenne together, and sprinkle on the shrimp.
Step 7

Keep the pan active, by stirring and flipping the shrimp.

Take off the heat, when the shrimp begin to brown, about 3 – 5 minutes, and then add the lemon juice.
Step 9

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 10

Place on a bed of arugula, drizzle with some of the pan sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan, if using. Enjoy.
