1. 1Step 1: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with kosher salt. Set aside while you start the sauce.
2. 2Step 2: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 30 to 60 seconds, until the garlic takes on a little color. Do not let it brown or burn.
3. 3Step 3: Add the shrimp and paprika. Cook, tossing regularly, until the flesh turns opaque and pearly pink, about 3 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. Remove the pan from the heat as soon as the shrimp are cooked.
4. 4Step 4: With the pan off the heat, stir in the sherry or white wine, lemon juice, and parsley. Transfer the shrimp and all the sauce to a serving bowl. Serve with your favorite crusty bread for dipping.
