Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 pound shrimp (14 medium raw shrimp, I prefer tiger shrimp)
  • Pinch dried chili pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 to 8 large whole garlic cloves (do not chop you will crush the cloves, see directions)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Rinse the shrimp with cold water. Let them drain in a colander.

  • Step 2: Press the garlic cloves with the blade of a knife. You do this in order to release the flavors when you fry the garlic.

  • Step 3: Fry the garlic for approximately 5 minutes on medium-low in the olive oil. The olive oil will acquire the garlic flavor. After 5 minutes you turn the garlic cloves on the other side.

  • Step 4: Increase heat to medium high. Add shrimp to the skillet and and spread the shrimp over the bottom of the pan (every shrimp should make full contact with the bottom of the pan). Sprinkle chili flakes over top. Fry until their color changes to pink at the bottom side. When the color changes you turn them on the other side. The shrimp are ready when you feel resistance after pressing them. Season shrimp with salt and pepper.

  • Step 5: Serve the shrimp with the garlic cloves and sprinkle the garlic flavored oil over them. Serve with crusty bread.
