- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl or a resealable bag and sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Gently toss or shake the shrimp to coat them evenly with the spices.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, being careful not to overcook them.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice from the wedges.
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
