Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pound jumbo shrimp with tails on I used 20 (fresh or frozen thawed prior)
  • Salt and coarse black pepper to taste
  • 3-4 tablespoon of Olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon butter unsalted or salted
  • 2 healing teaspoons of fresh garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon seafood broth or meat/veg broth or just warm boiled water
  • 2 medium red chilis I used 4 birdseye chilis, it was spicy thinly sliced with seeds
  • 2 teaspoons parsley finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons sweet garlic chili sauce or spicy sauce
  • red pepper flakes for garnish
  • lime wedges or lemon for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large non-stick pan heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute per side. Until the shrimp is just turning pink. For smaller shrimp cooking time should be reduced in half. Set aside.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Deglaze the skillet with broth, and add garlic and chilis. Cook for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Add the garlic chili sauce after that.
  3. Return the shrimp and coat it in the sauce. About 1-2 minutes.
  4. Remove just the shrimp on a serving plate.
  5. Continue with the sauce. Add butter, and parsley to the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed and simmer for a couple of minutes. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and serve immediately with rice, cauliflower rice, noodles or as a part of shared appetizers.
