Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 Lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season them with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden.
Stir in the smoked paprika and red pepper flakes, cooking for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shrimp.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful garlic oil.
