Step 1

1 In a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, combine the oil and garlic and heat just until the oil begins to sizzle (see NOTE)

Step 2

2 Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is just golden, about 5 minutes

Step 3

3 Watch closely, so the garlic does not burn

Step 4

4 Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to a small dish, leaving the oil in the skillet

Step 5

5 Increase the heat to medium-high, add the kale and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes

Step 6

6 Add the shrimp, paprika, salt and cayenne and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turns pink and is just cooked through, about 3 minutes

Step 7

7 Remove from the heat, return the garlic to the skillet and stir to combine

Step 8

8 Taste, and season with additional salt and/or cayenne, if desired

Step 9

9 Divide among plates and serve right away

Step 10

10 NOTE: If you don't have a large nonstick skillet, a regular skillet will work as well, but you might need to add a splash of water while wilting down the kale, if the pan seems dry
