  • Peel the shrimp, remove the shell, head, legs, etc. Butterfly them from the top and bottom, and remove the vein. Rinse them under running water.
  • Slice the garlic into semi-thick pieces, I recommend 4 cloves if you love the flavor, and if you prefer a milder taste, you should remove the center or heart.
  • Using scissors, cut the tails off the chiles, remove the seeds, and slice them into strips.
  • Add enough oil or butter to a skillet over low heat, and sauté the garlic until golden but not black to avoid bitterness in the dish.
  • Add the chili and shrimp. Cook for a short time so the shrimp don’t become rubbery, they should only change color and they'll be ready.
  • Before removing from heat, squeeze a lemon and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • If desired, serve with chopped parsley.
