Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

  2. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and slightly charred.

  3. 6

    Flip the Shrimp

    Using tongs, flip the shrimp over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until fully cooked through and opaque.

  4. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the shrimp from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
