Ingredients
Directions
9 STEPS
1
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a small bowl.
2
Toss the shrimp in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
3
Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Place the shrimp on the hot pan, maintaining a single layer with space between each piece. You may need to cook the shrimp in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
5
Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, until opaque, pink, and slightly browned. Remove and set aside in a bowl.
6
In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the sliced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until the garlic is browned and fragrant.
7
Stir in the smoked paprika and honey, then add the cooked shrimp back into the pan.
8
Toss the shrimp to coat evenly with the sauce.
9
Remove the pan from heat and serve the shrimp immediately. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, as desired.
