Sizzling Garlic Shrimp Delight

Serving Ideas: Serve over pasta, rice, or quinoa. It’s also fantastic in tacos or with crusty bread for dipping.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.

Freezing: Cooked shrimp can be frozen for up to a month, though it’s best enjoyed fresh.

Variations
Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta: Toss cooked shrimp with spaghetti, a little reserved pasta water, and extra butter for a quick scampi-style dish.

Asian-Style: Add a splash of soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions for a garlic shrimp stir-fry twist.

Coconut Garlic Shrimp: Swap olive oil for coconut oil and add shredded coconut at the end for a tropical flavor.

FAQ
Q: Can I use frozen shrimp?
A: Yes, just make sure to thaw them completely and pat dry to prevent excess moisture in the pan.

Q: How do I keep the shrimp from getting rubbery?
A: Don’t overcook! Shrimp cook fast—remove them from the heat as soon as they turn pink and opaque.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: It’s best fresh, but you can prep the garlic and season the shrimp ahead for quicker cooking later.

Q: Is this dish spicy?
A: Not necessarily. The red pepper flakes add optional heat—leave them out for a milder version.
