Instructions

Step 1: Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice with 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
Step 2: While the rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tsp red chili flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 12 oz peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Step 4: Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork and divide between 2 plates. Top each plate of rice with the spicy garlic shrimp. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve with 2 lemon wedges for squeezing over.
