Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the tail-on shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

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

  3. 3

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
