  • Add the seasoned shrimp and garlic to the heated pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the shrimp turns pink, about 2 to 4 minutes depending on their size.

Notes

Visit our shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients, including the olive oil and spices used in this recipe. I used medium (41/50) shrimp, but simply adjust the time for smaller or larger sizes. The shrimp is done when it goes from gray to pink. To use frozen shrimp: Thaw it first by sealing the shrimp in a large plastic bag and placing it in a bowl with cold water. Stir every few minutes until the shrimp is defrosted (about 20 minutes).
