Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp tails
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the shrimp tails. Rinse them under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp tails with minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, chili flakes, and salt.
Mix the ingredients well to ensure the shrimp tails are thoroughly coated with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp tails in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Fry the shrimp tails for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the shrimp tails from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp tails for garnish and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
