Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Sauce

    In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour the garlic sauce over them. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
