Garlic Olive Oil Shrimp Recipe and Cooking Instructions
Serves 2 – 3. Cook time is about six to eight minutes.
- One Pound of Peeled Shrimp
- Three tablespoons of minced garlic
- Olive Oil
- Season with crushed Basil to taste
- Parsley Flakes for garnish
To make sautéed shrimp, use olive oil to coat the bottom of your pan, and set your stove’s burner to a temperature of 3 or 4.
Add the Olive Oil and minced garlic to your sauté pan and warm those ingredients for about a minute. Warming the garlic and olive oil first will help infuse the olive oil with the garlic flavor. Next, add the shrimp to the sauté pan.
Make sure all your shrimp are touching the pan. Having all the shrimp touching the pan, not on top of each other, will ensure they cook evenly. Let your shrimp cook for two or three minutes. The outside of the shrimp will be orange, and the meat will turn white. Now, flip the shrimp over.
