Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag of Raw, Peeled and Cleaned Shrimp (I used a 12 oz. bag)
  • 2 teaspoons of Garlic
  • 1 Lemon Peel (grated)
  • 2 to 4 teaspoons of Crushed Red Pepper (depending on how hot you want it)
  • Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Start off by filling the bottom of pan with about 1/4 inch (eyeball it) of olive oil.
  • Get it hot. You want it pretty hot to really cook up those shrimp!
  • Once it's hot, put in your red pepper, garlic, and lemon peel. (smells amazing, right?!)
  • Then, dump in your shrimp.
  • You're going to want to stir and flip them quite often to create that golden brown coating and make certain that they're thoroughly cooked.
  • Once done, empty out the grease and plate those shrimp! Find a small plate to put them on sprinkle with extra red peppers.
  • Serve and enjoy!
