Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, season the jumbo shrimp with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Add Salsa Picante

    Stir in the salsa picante and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with crusty bread or over rice.
