- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (red or yellow)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried thyme

- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 more minute.

Notes
- Add shrimp at the end to avoid overcooking.
- Use frozen shrimp if needed, but thaw them completely before adding.
- For a deeper flavor, don’t skip sautéing the aromatics.
- Great served over rice, pasta, or with warm crusty bread.
- Can be made spicier with extra red pepper flakes.
