Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp tails
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp tails under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 3
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the shrimp tails, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp tails to the skillet in a single layer. Cook them without moving for about 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink and slightly crispy.
Step 6
Flip the shrimp tails and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.
Step 7
While the shrimp tails are cooking, zest the lemon and then cut it in half. Set the zest aside and squeeze the juice over the cooked shrimp tails in the skillet.
Step 8
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the shrimp tails just before removing them from the heat.
Step 9
Transfer the shrimp tails to a serving platter and garnish with the lemon zest. Serve immediately while warm as an appetizer or alongside a light salad.
