Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful garlic oil. For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the paprika. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors. Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the shrimp to get a good sear. Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
