Tips:

  • Choose fresh shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm, translucent, and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy, discolored, or have a strong odor.
  • Use a large skillet: This will prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from sticking.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet: Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque: Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
  • Add the sauce and cook for an additional minute: This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve immediately with rice, pasta, or vegetables: Citrusy Garlic Shrimp is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways.
