Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined tiger shrimp with minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    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 on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for added flavor.
