Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, seasoning immediately with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring until the shrimp edges turn pink and start to curl.
Step 3: Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully opaque and cooked through.
Step 4: Remove from heat and squeeze 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the shrimp, tossing gently to coat.
Step 5: Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
