Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Pour the marinade over the shrimp in the mixing bowl. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the shrimp using tongs and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preference. Serve with rice or a side salad for a complete meal.
