Description

Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Seasonings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Others
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat Oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the garlic and shrimp.
- Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, being careful not to burn it, about 1 minute.
- Cook Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, roughly 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Season: Season the shrimp with salt and pepper according to taste, ensuring the flavors are balanced.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the cooked shrimp and stir well so the cheese melts slightly and coats the shrimp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
- Use large shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure not to overcook shrimp to keep them tender.
- You can substitute parmesan with pecorino romano for a sharper taste.
- Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for more or less pungency.
