    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Add the Gulf shrimp to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp start to turn pink.

    Stir in Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.
