How To Make tasty garlic shrimp

  • 1
    It's up to you whether you keep the tails, or remove them from the shrimp. I prefer to remove them prior to cooking.
  • 2
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and sprinkle with the cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • 3
    Add the shrimp and cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are opaque, about 2 minutes. DON'T OVER COOK!
  • 4
    Add the butter and stir to coat the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Serve immediately. Enjoy!
