1
Clean the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water to remove any debris. If using whole shrimp, peel and devein them, leaving the tails intact for presentation.
2
Make the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well blended.
3
Marinate the Shrimp
Add the cleaned shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

4
Prepare the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure it's clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
5
Cook the Shrimp
Once the grill or skillet is hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious shrimp as an appetizer or main dish.
