A quick and flavorful shrimp skillet recipe cooked on the stovetop without an oven, perfect for summer parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 pound of large peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine shrimp with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss until shrimp are evenly coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
  3. Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and let it heat for 3-4 minutes until hot.
  4. Add shrimp in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until edges turn pink and a slight crust forms.
  5. Flip each shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon butter, lemon zest and juice, and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Stir gently to coat shrimp and cook for 1 more minute.
  7. Transfer shrimp and pan juices to a serving dish. Garnish with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Dry shrimp thoroughly before cooking to ensure a good sear. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Preheat skillet well for best results. Watch shrimp closely to avoid overcooking which makes them rubbery. Butter is optional for richness; omit or replace with olive oil for dairy-free version.
