SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP

Category: Seafood and Fish - Grilled

1 lb of medium size shrimp, peel and devein (I leave the tails on)
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 medium cloves of crushed garlic
A dash or two of sea salt

To infuse the flavor of garlic and pepper, pour 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large skillet, add pepper flakes and crushed garlic and let stand for 1/2 hour.

When ready to cook, turn up the heat high to get the oil nice and hot. Turn heat down to med-high and add 1/2 of the shrimp. Cook shrimp until they turn pink on edges (about 2 minutes per side), turn each shrimp and cook until the entire shrimp is pink (2 minutes). Remove immediately, do not overcook.

Place shrimp in a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining shrimp (there should be plenty of oil left). Place shrimp on a serving dish, pouring some of the oil over the shrimp. Serves 4-6
