In a large skillet on medium heat add the olive oil and garlic cook for approximately 30 seconds, then add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt and chopped parsley. If you wish you can also add a dash or two of red pepper flakes to the pan.
Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and opaque. Stirring often. Over cooking the shrimp will make it rubbery. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Some like to add a splash of lemon juice also, you could serve it with sliced lemon on the side.
Notes
Peeled, frozen or fresh shrimp are all perfect for this seafood recipe. If you use frozen, place the shrimp in a colander and rinse under cold water, this will thaw them enough for cooking.Place the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. It can keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheating the shrimp can be done in the oven or on the stove top.Re-heat the shrimp in a 300F oven for about 12-15 minutes, in a pan add about a tablespoon of olive oil and heat on medium heat for about 30-60 seconds, stirring to heat through.I usually use unpeeled deveined shrimp sometimes which is the most common way to serve it in Italy but if you prefer you can clean the shrimp completely before adding to the pan.
