  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are fully peeled and deveined.

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

    Using tongs, flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.
