Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps remove any excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

  2. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the shrimp.

  3. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

  4. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
