Chili Garlic Shrimp
Description
This Chili Garlic Shrimp recipe uses olive oil heated with finely chopped garlic and red chili flakes until the garlic turns golden, releasing fragrant spicy notes. Shrimp are then cooked in the infused oil until tender and opaque, seasoned with salt and finished with chopped flat-leaf parsley. The quick, high-heat cooking preserves shrimp texture while layering in garlic and chili flavors.
The dish is well-suited for serving immediately, accompanied by sliced French bread to catch the spicy garlic oil. It provides a straightforward way to enjoy shrimp with a notable but controlled heat and fresh herb aroma.
