Equipment
- Skillet or frying pan
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Garlic press
Ingredients
- 400 g Large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp Red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped
- Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 cup White wine optional
Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by thoroughly washing and patting dry the shrimp. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, pepper, and half of the lemon juice. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Cooking the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to high, add the marinated shrimp, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Final Touches: Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the butter, remaining lemon juice, and white wine (if using). Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serving: Serve the spicy chili garlic shrimp immediately, ideally over a bed of steamed rice or pasta, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges for a refreshing twist.
