Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

For the Lemon-Horseradish Aioli:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 ½ tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prep the Shrimp – Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. Toss with olive oil (or melted butter), smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Mix until well coated.
  • Make the Aioli – In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, horseradish, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Stir well, then season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate while cooking the shrimp.
  • Cook the Shrimp – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and slightly firm.
  • Serve – Plate the shrimp and serve with the aioli. Garnish with lemon zest or fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t Overcook Shrimp – They cook fast! Once they turn pink and curl slightly, they’re done.
  • Make the Aioli in Advance – Letting it chill for an hour enhances the flavor.
  • Grilled or Air-Fried Option – Grill shrimp on skewers or air fry at 400°F for 7 minutes.
