Garlic Shrimp Scampi

Large shrimps, I first ate when I went on a visit to Karachi after that they have stayed a favorite part of my culinary diet. Although, lately because of my cholesterol issues, I have been cautious to not eat it too many times in a month. Which to be honest, isn’t difficult, because there is so many varieties and culinary gourmet experiences out there that you can literally eat a different meal every day. This recipe is are very low fat and so easy to make that it is easy to rustle up whenever you want.

  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp grated garlic
  • 2tbsp oregano
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds Large peeled shrimp

Method

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and black pepper.  Add shrimp and toss around to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until you need to eat.
