Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are peeled and deveined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to become hot before adding the shrimp.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and start to curl, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
