Preparation Steps
Marinate the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Shrimp
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, until they turn pink and opaque.
Finish Cooking
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked through and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become tough.
Add Lime and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp. Toss to combine. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
