Instructions:
- Marinate the Shrimp:
- In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Preheat the Skillet:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
- Cook the Shrimp:
- Carefully add the marinated shrimp to the hot skillet, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp to avoid them becoming tough and rubbery.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once the shrimp are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve the shrimp hot alongside your favorite side dishes such as rice, pasta, or a crisp salad.
