Wash the shrimp with cold water
Finely chop the onion and garlic.
Take a small skillet and preheat to medium-hot. Then add the olive oil and let it warm for a couple of seconds before adding the onion
Stir continuously to prevent the onion from burning and then add the garlic. Again stir the onion-garlic mix continuously until soft and translucent. This takes 2-3 minutes
Add the red pepper flakes and paprika powder so it can infuse the oil. Stir and add the shrimp and move them around in the oil
The shrimp will turn from gray to pink in about a minute. Turn the shrimp and let this side turn pink as well
Leave the shrimp for another minute and turn down the heat
Serve your garlic shrimp with fresh bread
