1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it's shimmering.
3
Cook the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4
Add the Shrimp
Carefully add the shrimp to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
5
Season the Shrimp
Sprinkle the paprika, salt, and black pepper over the shrimp. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are pink and opaque.
6
Add Lemon Juice
Pour the lemon juice over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
7
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot.
