Shrimp and Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the raw shrimp, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat the shrimp in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 3

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Flip the shrimp using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked. The shrimp should be firm and opaque all the way through.

  3. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the sautéed shrimp with chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges if desired.
