This take a matter of minutes to to prepare and cook. If you love garlic you will love this recipe, of coarse you may adjust the garlic to taste. I like to add in a small amount of dry white wine to the shrimp just before it is finished cooking. Serve this with crusty bread or hot cooked pasta. This recipe will serve 3 people easily, you might want to double all ingredients including the shrimp to serve more than 3-4 people.
Ingredients:
8 -10 ounces uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/3 cup olive oil
2 -3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (can use more garlic)
1 small bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1-2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley)
black pepper
Directions:
1. Place the shrimp in a bowl, and toss with salt; let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over high heat.
3. Add in chopped garlic, bay leaf and crushed red pepper; stir for 1 minute.
4. Add in shrimp and stir JUST until cooked through (about 2-3 minutes).
