Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp tails, deveined
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp tails under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, ground black pepper, chili flakes, and salt.
Add the shrimp tails to the bowl, ensuring each one is coated well in the marinade. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp tails to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the shrimp tails for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Remove the shrimp tails from the skillet and drain them briefly on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Transfer the shrimp tails to a serving platter and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
