Easily Ways To Cook The Delicious Shrimp

Maybe many people like to eat the shrimp,me too.But most of the people do not know how to cook the delicious shrimp.Shrimp is a fabulous choice to get some lean protein on your plate. It’s inexpensive, especially when purchased frozen, plus it defrosts in minutes. If you’re looking to tame your waist line, most sea food can help you do that. Stow away a few packages of these tasty crustaceans in your freezer for future meals.
The ginger in this recipe is meant to give that gentle spice that hits the back of your throat, and the intent for the fresh lemon juice is to bring other flavors to the forefront. This is great when tangled into some nutty brown rice, but it would be even better with some toasted artisan bread.

2 teaspoons olive oil
8 oz fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons garlic, finely grated or finely minced
1 tablespoon ginger, finely grated or finely minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley, finely chopped

Directions
Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a small or medium size skillet.
When the oil is hot, add the shrimp, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. It’s important for the ginger and garlic to be on top of the shrimp early in the cooking process to avoid any burning.
Cook the shrimp 1-2 minutes to cook on this side, lower the heat to medium-low and stir everything together.
Cook an additional 2 minutes. Swirl in the butter, pour in the lemon juice, and sprinkle with the fresh parsley.
