Step 1
Pat dry the 2 lb crawfish tails with paper towels. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crawfish in a single layer and cook until they turn pink and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add 4 tbsp butter and 8 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook until fragrant and the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in 1 tsp paprika and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Step 5
Return the crawfish to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from heat and stir in 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or rice.
