Ingredients

Instructions

Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and place in a bowl.
Toss shrimp with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, stirring to coat in garlic and oil.
Sprinkle lemon zest and chopped parsley over shrimp. Toss quickly, then remove from heat.
Warm mini corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 20 seconds each side until soft and pliable.
Divide shrimp evenly between the tortillas. Top with extra parsley and lemon zest.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
