How to Make Garlic Shrimp With Chilies

  1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until very hot (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot skillet.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the hot oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  4. Add 1-2 teaspoons of chili flakes (or more, to taste), and 4 cloves of minced garlic. Stir to combine and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately in the skillet with crusty bread for dipping. Alternatively, serve over rice or a mixed green salad (chilled).
  7. For a larger serving (4 people as an appetizer), double the ingredient quantities.
