Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ - 1 lb. Peeled and deveined shrimp Preference is for jumbo shrimp
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1¼ tsp Old Bay Seasoning

Instructions

  • Dump the shrimp into the bowl with the juice from the lemon (and some of the rind if you're feeling crazy!), minced garlic, and old bay seasoning. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil into the bowl and mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Let the shrimp marinate for 10-30 minutes (no more than 30 mins).
  • Using a non-stick pan (or cast iron) cook the shrimp on medium high for 2-3 minutes on each side. The shrimps cook super quick, I'm more concerned about juicy delicious shrimp than getting color on them.
  • Serve them up with a salad, on some rice, or just eat them straight up because they are pure YumSizzle.
