• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

📖 Instructions

🦐 Prepare the Shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

🔥 Sauté Garlic and Herbs
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant (don’t let it brown!).
Stir in the thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes, cooking for another 30 seconds to release the flavors.

🥘 Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.

👨‍🍳 Finish the Dish
Squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp and give everything a good toss.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if needed.

🍽️ Serve
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

🍴 Serving Suggestions:
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful olive oil.
Pair with a simple salad or over a bed of rice or pasta.
It also works beautifully as a topping for roasted vegetables.
