1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are fully peeled and deveined.
2
Mix Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
3
Marinate the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.

4
Heat the Pan
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
5
Cook the Shrimp
Once the pan is hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.
6
Flip the Shrimp
Using tongs, flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.
7
Garnish and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
