    Directions

    Step 1
    Place shrimp in bowl with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced cloves garlic and crushed red pepper. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
    Step 2
    Heat remaining olive oil in saute pan over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and allow to infuse oil for 3-5 minutes.
    Step 3
    Increase heat to medium high and add shrimp. Cook while tossing until just done, which will take only about 2 minutes, depending on size of the shrimp. Cooked shrimp is pink and opaque.
    Step 4
    Add parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve while piping hot!
