1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot, but not smoking.
3
Cook the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
4
Add the Shrimp
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink.
5
Add Spices
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the shrimp and flip them over. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are fully cooked through and opaque.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve the spicy garlic shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side.
