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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp tails under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, ground black pepper, chili flakes, and salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Cook the shrimp tails for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp tails from the skillet and drain them briefly on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Transfer the shrimp tails to a serving platter and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
