Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
Begin by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This ensures they are clean and ready for cooking.
- 2
Marinate the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat all the shrimp evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers, indicating that it is ready for cooking.

Cook the Shrimp
Add the marinated shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until thoroughly cooked.
- 5
Finish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
