Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcrowd the skillet; you may need to do this in batches.

Serving

  1. 3

    Prepare the Platter

    Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the skillet and arrange them on a large serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

  2. 4

    Add Dipping Sauces

    Serve the shrimp alongside bowls of cocktail sauce and garlic aioli. Add lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
