Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil is sizzling.

Notes
Make sure not to overcook the shrimp. Using good-quality cheese can enhance the flavor, and feel free to add more garlic for a richer taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
