Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are thoroughly thawed.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Place the shrimp in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

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

  2. 5

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
