Instructions:

- Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can become bitter.

- Adjust the amount of chili peppers to your heat preference. Removing the seeds can make the dish milder.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should turn pink and opaque, usually within 2-3 minutes per side.
- Finely chop the garlic and parsley to ensure they evenly distribute throughout the dish, infusing every bite with flavor.
- Serve the garlic and chili shrimps with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
