Ingredients
- 1 pound medium 41/50 shrimp, thawed
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
Instructions
- Season the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and put it in a medium bowl. Add the Italian seasoning, sweet paprika, and a good pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and toss to coat.
- Heat the skillet: Heat about 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until just shimmering.
- Cook the shrimp: Add the seasoned shrimp and garlic to the heated pan. Cook, tossing occasionally until the shrimp is opaque and turns pink (about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp).
- Finish and serve: As soon as the shrimp turns pink, remove the pan from the heat immediately and finish with lemon zest and juice. Serve immediately.
