1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the jumbo shrimp under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels. If not already done, peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation.
2
Marinate the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat 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 get hot but not smoking.
4
Cook the Shrimp
Add the marinated shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
5
Garnish and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
