Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are completely thawed. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
- Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. A properly heated griddle is key for a good sear.
- Once hot, lay the shrimp in a single layer on the griddle.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and curl slightly.
- Toward the end of cooking, add a few dollops of butter to the griddle and let the shrimp sauté in the melting butter.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle

Notes
- Avoid overcrowding the griddle so each shrimp gets a proper sear.
- Watch the cooking time closely — shrimp cook quickly and turn rubbery if overcooked.
- Pat shrimp very dry before seasoning for the best sear.
