Make this easy paprika shrimp in about 10 minutes! It's tossed in a delicious sweet and savory maple syrup and apple cider vinegar sauce. Serve it over rice with vegetables for a quick dinner, or as an appetizer.

Instructions

Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl. Toss with the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt and garlic powder until coated.
Heat a large nonstick or enameled cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s good and hot before adding the shrimp.
Add the half of the shrimp. There should be a bit of space between the shrimp so that they sear rather than steam.
Cook for 1 minute. Using tongs, flip the shrimp and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Take care not to overcook the shrimp or they will become rubbery.
Transfer the shrimp to a plate or bowl. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the apple cider mixture. Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
Add the shrimp to the vinegar-syrup mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note 1: I use large shrimp, which are often labeled as 31/35 (31-35 shrimp per pound).
Note 2: If you don't have maple syrup, substitute with honey or agave nectar.
