1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well combined.
2
Marinate the Shrimp
Add the tail-on shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

3
Prepare for Grilling or Frying
If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If frying, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
4
Cook the Shrimp
For grilling: Place marinated shrimp directly on the grill grates. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. For frying: Add marinated shrimp to the heated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through.
5
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove shrimp from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
