This is a really fun and quick recipe that’s perfect as a fast weeknight meal or it makes a wonderful appetizer when entertaining! The shrimp take on the full flavors of paprika, garlic and lemon and the dish is done in just a matter of minutes. If you are making it as an appetizer you can serve as sizzling shrimp still in the pan! This will give it a fun restaurant-style quality that’s sure to impress your guests. We ate this as our main course with a size of Parmesan Lemon Smashed Potatoes! So good!
Enjoy!
