Ingredients:

1/3 cup olive oil
80g
24 oz shrimps
680g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Ensure the shrimps are peeled and deveined.
- Finely chop the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the red hot chili peppers. Remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1/3 cup of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Garlic and Chili:
- Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped garlic and chili peppers.
- 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.
4. Add the Shrimp:
- Add the shrimps to the skillet.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimps turn pink and are cooked through. Shrimp cook quickly, so make sure not to overcook them.
5. Incorporate the Parsley:
- Sprinkle the finely chopped parsley over the shrimp and stir to combine.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
6. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the garlic and chili shrimps immediately, preferably with a side of crusty bread, over pasta, or with a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.

- 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.
