Method

Shrimp Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil (100 ml), paprika, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking the Shrimp

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil (50 ml) over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

    Cook Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with fresh bread for dipping into the garlic sauce.
