Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp tails, shell-on
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp tails under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the shrimp tails, making sure each tail is well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp tails to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook the shrimp tails for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the shrimp tails to a serving platter.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp tails for a burst of freshness.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
