Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry shrimp with garlic in a frying pan? Prepare your food. You can take either raw or boiled-frozen shrimp, which are usually sold in stores. Pre-defrost them by transferring them from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. It is important to do this as delicately as possible, then the shrimp will retain their taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare the shrimp — tear off the head, remove the shell. You can leave the tail. I usually tear it off. Make a cut along the back with a sharp knife and remove the intestinal thread. Rinse the peeled shrimp under running water and then dry well so that excess moisture does not prevent them from frying. And be prepared for the fact that their volume will decrease greatly. Take this into account when calculating the number of servings.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the garlic, remove the core of the clove — it is very bitter. Finely chop the garlic with a knife. You can reduce or increase its amount according to your taste.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour vegetable oil into it for frying. Place shrimp in oil and quickly fry them. For boiled ones, one minute will be enough; fry raw ones longer, until they turn pink.

Step 5

Step 5
Add garlic to shrimp and stir. Throw in the butter next. Salt and pepper the dish. Fry the shrimp for another minute.

Step 6

Step 6
Then add chopped parsley to the shrimp. Turn off the heat immediately.
