Ingredients

• 300 g Large shrimp (peeled, deveined)
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 tbsp Butter
• Lemon × 1
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 2 pinch Chili flakes
• 2 pinch Salt

Method

1. Pat Dry

   

   Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels — this is what lets them brown instead of steam.

2. Heat the Pan

   

   Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium-high heat until foamy.

3. Sear

   

   Add the shrimp in a single layer, season with salt and chili flakes, and cook for 90 seconds without moving.

4. Flip & Add Garlic

   

   Flip the shrimp, add the minced garlic, and cook 60 more seconds until the shrimp are pink and curled.

5. Finish

   

   Squeeze the lemon over the pan and scatter the chopped parsley. Toss once and serve.
