Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Add Lemon Juice and Cheese

    Remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and sprinkle the grated Romano cheese on top. Toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the garlic shrimp immediately, garnished with additional chili flakes or cheese if desired.
