  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp Spanish olive oil
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • pinch paprika
  • salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley
  • Lime wedges for serving

In a large skillet, heat oil on medium heat and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until golden, about 2 minutes being careful not to burn. Add shrimp and season with salt and paprika. Cook 2-3 minutes until shrimp is cooked through. Do not overcook or it will become tough and chewy. Add chopped fresh herbs and divide equally in 3 plates.
