Method

3 steps

Thaw the shrimp, if using frozen. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, salt, paprika, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss together until the shrimp is well coated.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon zest and juice. Garnish with parsley.
