SHRIMP WITH OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC
For garlic lovers! This recipe comes from a cookbook from a Restaurant Management course I took in university. I've been making it on a regular basis ever since. I usually serve this over a bed of rice, or on those lazy nights I skip the rice and soak up the sauce with slices of bread

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine first 5 ingredients in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish; whisk to blend. Mix in shrimp; let stand 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bake shrimp until just opaque in center, about 15 minutes. Spoon shrimp and juices into bowls. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: Fresh shrimp should have a sweet, briny smell and a firm, translucent texture. Avoid shrimp that is slimy, discolored, or has an off odor.
- Peel and devein the shrimp: To devein the shrimp, make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein. You can also buy shrimp that is already peeled and deveined, but it will be more expensive.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Heat the oil over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the shrimp will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque: Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough.
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and garlic: You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Shrimp with garlic and olive oil is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy and delicious way to enjoy shrimp. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful garlic and olive oil sauce, and it can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
