Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
kosher salt to taste
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
Toss in the shrimp and add the spices.
Cook the shrimp, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until it is cooked through and opaque. If using extra-large shrimp, place them in the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. Smaller shrimp can be stir-fried for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
Garnish with parsley and serve as an appetizer or as a main dish with rice or noodles.
