Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet, season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  3. Step 3: Remove shrimp to a plate and keep warm. In the same skillet, add sliced 1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper. Season with 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Return shrimp to the skillet and pour in 2 tbsp fresh lime juice. Toss everything together with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and cook for another 1 minute to blend flavors.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
