Scale
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 10 large cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound shrimp, deveined, tails left on
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, optional as garnish
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 baguette, sliced, toasted, for serving
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients and prep. This recipe will come together quickly! So make sure you have all of the garlic grated and the shrimp deveined.
- Warm the oil. In a large (12-inch) sauté pan or heavy frying pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Lower the heat and sauté for just about a minute. The key here is making sure the garlic doesn’t burn, otherwise it will lend a burnt taste to the olive oil and we do not want that!
- Increase the heat to high and add your shrimp, paprika and lemon juice to the pan. Stir well to mix together and make sure the shrimp is coated well. Sauté until your shrimp turn pink, ~3-5 minutes (it depends on the size of your shrimp!)
- Remove from the heat and season with black pepper. Garnish with your parsley and serve with toasted bread.
