Garlic Shrimp with Momofuku Chili Crunch

I love to cook shrimp in olive oil and sometimes butter, with garlic and fresh herbs. Not only is it delicious, but also it feels like a fancy dish to me. This garlic shrimp gets an extra treat with Momofuku Chili Crunch drizzled on top. In my opinion, the result is magical and you are going to want to make some ASAP.

First of all, if you like spicy things, then you absolutely need to get yourself some Momofuku Chili Crunch. It’s a spicy, crunchy chili oil that adds texture, spice and flavor to pretty much any dish you want. You can put it on pasta, meats, rice, eggs or vegetables. My friend served it drizzled over fresh slices of mozzarella with some basil. It was amazing. But wait, there’s more – I’ve heard of people putting it on ice cream!

Now, back to this delicious shrimp. This is such an easy recipe and can go well with so many things. For example, you can serve it with pasta, rice, veggies, or even on top of a salad. You can use fresh or frozen shrimp. I usually use tail off, peeled and deveined, because I just don’t want to do that work myself.

You’ll need:

• 1 lb shrimp (I used tail off, peeled and deveined)
• 2 T extra virgin olive oil
• 3 large cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of half a lemon
• salt and pepper
• fresh chopped parsley
• Momofuku Chili Crunch

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until it starts to get fragrant.

Next, add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and reduce the heat to low and let the shrimp soak up all the flavors for a couple of minutes.

Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

Last, but certainly not least, drizzle some chili crunch on top and serve!
