Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling raw shrimp to prevent cross-contamination. Keep raw seafood separate from fresh vegetables and ready-to-eat foods.

Place 450g peeled large shrimp into a bowl. Season with 0.5g salt, 1.5g black pepper, 1g chili flakes, 3g smoked paprika, and pour in 30ml olive oil. Toss well until shrimp are evenly coated in spices.
