Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chili flakes

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with minced garlic, chili flakes, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, honey, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated.

    Let the shrimp marinate for about 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld.

      Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer.

        Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

          Remove the shrimp from the heat, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.

            Serve immediately with lemon slices on the side.
