Season Shrimp with Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Salt, and Black Pepper.
Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove Shrimp from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt Butter from the Garlic Butter Sauce group. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in White Wine and Lemon Juice from the Garlic Butter Sauce group and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly reduced.
