Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I begin by preparing the shrimp. In a mixing bowl, I coat the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. This adds lots of flavor right from the start! Once coated, I set the bowl aside for about 10 minutes so the shrimp can soak in those delicious spices. The air in my kitchen begins to fill with mouth-watering aromas, which is always a good sign. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
