Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 whole lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes on one side without stirring.
Flip the shrimp and add the smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Pour in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and white wine (if using) to deglaze the pan. Stir to coat the shrimp in the flavorful mixture.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp and toss to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley or lemon slices, if desired.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or over a bed of mixed greens for a complete meal.
