serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

1/2 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 small bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, depending on how hot you want it
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

directions

Heat oil in skillet. Add the minced garlic, bay leaf and red pepper flakes and stir one minute or until fragrant and garlic is slightly softened. Add shrimp and stir until just cooked through, about 3 minutes--be careful not to overcook! You just want the shrimp opaque and still crunchy/tender. Sprinkle with parsley and salt and pepper to taste. You can also use precooked, shelled and de-veined shrimp, but cook garlic slightly longer and toss shrimp only enough to heat through.
