Garlic Shrimp Recipe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

500g raw, peeled and cleaned shrimp (can be medium or large)
4 to 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped or flaked
2-3 tablespoons of butter.
2 tablespoons olive oil (you can substitute for vegetable oil if necessary)
Juice of 1 lemon
Go out to the pleasure
Ground pepper black to taste
Fresh chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Dried chili leaves or guajillo chili strips (optional, for a spicy touch)

 

Preparation:

1. *Get the shrimp ready:
Wash and dry the shrimp well. If they are big, you can cut a shallow on the top so they open up a little when cooking.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking..

2. Saute the garlic:
In a large skillet, heat the butter along with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add garlic and simmer carefully until it takes a slightly golden color and releases its aroma (prevents it from burning).
If you’re going to use dry chili, incorporate it now to infuse flavor.

3. Cook the shrimp:
Turn the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they change color to a pinkish tone and are well cooked. Avoid overtaking them so they don’t get hard.

4. Finishing touch:
Squeeze the lemon juice directly over the shrimp and mix well to absorb the flavor.
Decorate with fresh chopped parsley if you wish.
