Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the hot oil.
- Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning, until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden brown.
- Add the shrimps to the skillet with the sautéed garlic.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Cook the shrimps for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Stir in the finely chopped parsley.
- Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the parsley to wilt slightly.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the sautéed shrimps hot, either as an appetizer or a main dish paired with your favorite sides.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimps for the best flavor and texture. You can use either fresh or frozen shrimps, but make sure to thoroughly thaw frozen ones before cooking.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They cook very quickly, usually turning pink and opaque in just a couple of minutes. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery.
- Finely chop the garlic and parsley for even distribution and to maximize their flavors.
- For added flavor, consider marinating the shrimps in the olive oil, garlic, and parsley mixture for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve immediately for the best taste, but you can pair it with a side of rice, pasta, or a fresh salad to create a more substantial meal.
