Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high, and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 5 minutes while you prepare the broiler pan.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Step 6

Broil the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then carefully flip them and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred at the edges.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 8

Serve the broiled shrimp immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
