Instructions
- Start by patting the shrimp dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a nice sear when cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated with the spices.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook in batches.
- Sear the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and begin to caramelize. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan, stirring it around so it doesn’t burn. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Once the shrimp are fully cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the spicy shrimp hot, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy with your favorite side dish or over a bed of rice or pasta.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the chili flakes. This dish pairs well with a side of rice or a fresh salad.
