1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are fully peeled and deveined.
2
Marinate the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are well coated in the marinade. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
3
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 for 2-3 minutes on one side until they are pink and opaque, then flip them over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.
4
Garnish and Serve
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
