Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Toast

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder on each slice of bread. Place on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and serve the shrimp over the garlic toast points.
