Method
Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
If the shrimp are not already peeled and deveined, do so under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Cooking
Marinate the Shrimp
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat all the shrimp evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Cook the Shrimp
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges and red pepper flakes if desired.
