Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Whisk until fully blended.
- Add peeled and deveined large shrimp to the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated in the marinade. Toss gently for about 2 minutes, then let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Ensure grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
- Place marinated shrimp on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and opaque before flipping.
- Flip shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked, pink, and firm to the touch.
- Remove shrimp from the grill, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes
Keep an eye on the grill time; shrimp cook quickly and can become rubbery if overcooked. Consider using skewers or a grilling basket for easy handling.
