frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Heat oil on a non stick skillet.Once the pan is warm, but not too hot, toss the garlic and stir fry, being careful not to burn the garlic, 30 seconds would do.Throw the shrimp into the mix, followed by the paprika. Once the shrimp begins to turn pink, after about a minute or two, toss in the parsley. Shrimp gets really stringy and dry when overcooked, so remove the pan from the heat once the shrimp turns pink, but not entirely opaque. Season with salt and serve with bread.
