Cook for 2 minutes, flip and cook another 2 minutes on the other side until fully cooked and shrimp is not longer transparent. Set aside cooked shrimp and place on paper towel lined bowl.

- Serve shrimp with rice and a lemon wedge. Spoon additional garlic over dish and squeeze lemon over top. Enjoy!
Notes
Be careful when cooking the garlic. It can turn golden very quickly and it also continues to cook in residual heat. Stirring constantly cooks the garlic evenly.
Dry the shrimp well. Otherwise, the outer crispy coating will be clumpy.
