Crispy Garlic Shrimp

I tend to double the amount of garlic in a recipe but this one is exclusively for garlic lovers with 20 whole cloves! A dream.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil

• 20 cloves of garlic, chopped

• ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional for some heat)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

• Lemon wedges, for serving

  
  

Instructions

Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add a tablespoon of the garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant.

Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

Transfer the shrimp and crispy garlic onto a serving platter. Add the remaining garlic into the skiller and cook until crispy and golden-brown. Transfer onto the shrimp and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and pair with bread.
