Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 4 wedges lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl, and toss to coat every shrimp evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated shrimp to the hot skillet, cooking in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and slightly caramelized.
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until fully cooked and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the shrimp with chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
Enjoy your Spicy Party Shrimp as an appetizer or pair it with rice or salad for a light main dish!
