Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup garlic-infused olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili flakes or chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste optional
  • fresh parsley or green onions, green part only for garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the garlic-infused olive oil, chili flakes or chili powder, paprika, cumin and salt. Add black pepper if using. Mix well to create the chili oil marinade.
  • Place the shrimp in a separate bowl and pour the chili oil marinade over them. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
  • Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions (green part only) for added flavor and presentation.
