1
Prepare the Shrimp
If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold running water. Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary, leaving the tails on for presentation.
2
Marinate the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3
Grill or Fry the Shrimp
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If frying, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit more olive oil if necessary. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
4
Serve
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
