Begin by melting a few tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat just until melted, making sure not to burn the butter
While the butter is melting, prepare a spice blend of salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and thyme. The blend can be homemade, or you can purchase a spice blend at the grocery store
Next, combine the shrimp, melted butter and seasonings in a bowl and let marinate in the fridge for about 1 hour
When you‘re ready to cook, heat a skillet to medium/high heat
Add olive oil and let heat for about 2 minutes. You want your skillet to be hot enough to create a nice sear on the outside of the shrimp
Cook the shrimp in an even layer in the skillet for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Cook in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd your pan
Remove cooked shrimp from the pan and set aside
Once all of your shrimp is cooked, platter and serve immediately
