Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp

This shrimp dish is very similar to Chinese salt and pepper shrimp.  They're both coated in corn starch or flour, both are spicy and both are fried or sauteed in oil.  For this Hawaiian style recipe, the shrimp is tossed in a mixture of flour, paprika, salt and pepper.  Shells are left intact.  Lots of chopped garlic is sauteed in a mixture of butter and olive oil and a splash of white wine.  The garlic sauce is removed from the pan and the shrimp is then cooked in hot olive oil for just a couple of minutes on each side.  Add the garlic sauce and serve.  Note, the shells become crispy and traditionally the shrimp are eaten shell and all.  This has become one of my favorite shrimp recipes and can be made in less than 15 minutes start to finish.
