1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are peeled and deveined before proceeding.
2
Prepare the Seasoning Mix
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.

3
Marinade the Shrimp
In a large bowl, add the shrimp and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
5
Cook the Shrimp
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
6
Serve
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the skillet and serve hot, garnished with additional lemon juice if desired.
