Tiger Shrimp in Garlic Oil
This simple recipe for shrimp will allow you to cook a delicious dish that everyone loves.
Ingredients
To prepare it you will not need many ingredients:

- Bunch of parsley
- 2 – 3 cloves of garlic

Boil shrimps for one minute in salted water with a leaf of lime. But not longer than 1 minute, because then the shrimp will go to the pan and will be cooked there.

Remove the garlic-oil mixture from the refrigerator and distribute generously over the inside of the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a hot skillet. You do not need to add oil to the pan.
