Shrimp With Olive Oil and Garlic

Submitted by EastCoastKate

"For garlic lovers! This recipe comes from a cookbook from a Restaurant Management course I took in university. I've been making it on a regular basis ever since. I usually serve this over a bed of rice, or on those lazy nights I skip the rice and soak up the sauce with slices of bread"

Made for Fall PAC 2012 and so glad I did. This is such an easy dish to prepare when you are running short on time or even for company. Made as posted except for adding some red pepper flakes for some zing and served this over noodles and with a green salad.

I think I have this same textbook from college and still use it often. This recipe always turns out great and the shrimp are very versatile. I've used this over pasta, just used the shrimp without sauce on salads, etc. Easy and consistently good.
