Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the chopped cilantro, and serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
