Mix some salt, pepper, sweet paprika, and lemon powder in a bowl. Toss the shrimp in this mix to cover them well.

Add minced garlic to the hot pan and cook for about a minute until it smells nice.

Put the seasoned shrimp in the pan and cook them for roughly 2 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook them; they should stay tender.

Take the pan off the heat. Serve the shrimp over hot rice and add some fresh herbs and lemon slices on top.

Enjoy!
