Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 1 unit lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a bowl, combine the shrimp with smoked paprika, sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes on one side without moving them to allow a slight sear.
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until pink and opaque.
Pour in the white wine and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice, red chili flakes, and half of the chopped parsley. Cook for 1 more minute, coating the shrimp in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with the remaining parsley.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, over rice, or as a standalone dish.
