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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cleaning the shrimp tails. Rinse them under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp tails with minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, chili flakes, and salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Fry the shrimp tails for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp tails from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp tails for garnish and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
