Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 small Cucumber (diced)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season them lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain their freshness.
Stir in the smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well with the vegetables.
Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a light main course or chilled as a refreshing tapas-style dish. Enjoy!
