Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil with garlic, red pepper flakes, and paprika over medium-high heat. Cook until the oil is hot and the garlic turns golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Raise the heat to high, then add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, approximately 3 minutes.
