Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Oil

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook gently until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the garlic oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dish

    Once the shrimp has cooled, transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle the remaining garlic oil over the shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
