Start by making a flour mixture to coat the shrimp for a crispy texture.

Coat the shrimp lightly in the flour mixture.

Heat a shallow pan over medium to medium-high heat.

Add the coated shrimp to the pan and fry until browned on both sides and curled up; remove from heat to avoid overcooking.

Grind fresh garlic using a garlic press; use a generous amount as more garlic is preferred.

In the same pan, add a stick of butter and the ground garlic to make the garlic butter sauce.

Season the sauce with garlic salt and Cajun seasoning.

Add the fried shrimp back into the pan and mix well to coat in the garlic butter sauce.

Plate the shrimp and add a scoop of mac salad on the side.

Top the shrimp with extra garlic and add lemon wedges to the plate.

Squeeze lemon over the shrimp before serving.
