LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD

The method

  1. 01

    Thaw shrimp fully if frozen, then pat dry. Toss with smoked paprika and salt.

  2. 02

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer, working in batches if necessary.

  3. 03

    Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, depending on size, until the flesh is pearly and opaque and the center reaches 145°F (63°C).
