Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Shrimp

    Rinse the head-on shrimp under cold water to remove any debris or sand. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the cleaned shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Finish and Garnish

    Remove the shrimp from the skillet and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
