If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are completely thawed.

Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. If you like it spicy, add some red pepper flakes.

Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. A properly heated griddle is key for a good sear.

Once the griddle is hot, lay the shrimp in a single layer.

Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side. They should turn a nice pink color and curl slightly when done.

Towards the end of cooking, add a few dollops of butter to the griddle. Let the shrimp sauté in the melting butter for an extra rich flavor.

Sprinkle the cooked shrimp with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.

Serve the shrimp hot. They can be enjoyed on their own, as part of a seafood platter, or with sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
