Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss until fully coated in the marinade. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the shrimp with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
