If using frozen shrimp, make sure the shrimp is completely thawed. Once thawed, drain the shrimp very well. Sprinkle them with 1 tsp kosher salt.
Step 2
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and pepper. Add in the olive oil, the sliced garlic cloves, and sliced cayenne pepper. Saute the garlic until it has browned nicely. Sprinkle the mixture with ¼ tsp kosher salt.
Step 3
Add in the shrimp and cook until the shrimp have just turned pink. Season the shrimp with the remaining kosher salt, sherry, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Feel free to serve the dish with lemon wedges if desired.
