Non-vegetarian Quick Easy Delicious Shrimp Seafood

Ingredients

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat the shrimp in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the shrimp and sauce. Give everything a final toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the shrimp hot over a bed of cooked rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
