  • 1 pound shrimp large
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
  • 4 medium garlic cloves pressed

  • 1 large tomatoes firm ripe chopped, seeds and excess pulp removed
  • 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • Press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out its health-promoting properties.
  • Use a 3 quart saucepan filled halfway with water.
  • Add salt to taste and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and bring to a boil.
  • While water is coming to a boil, peel shrimp.
  • Make a slight slit down the back of each shrimp and rinse out black vein.
  • Add to boiling water and cook just until they are pink, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Dry shrimp with paper towels to remove excess water.
  • If not, it will dilute the flavor.
  • Make sure shrimp is well dried.
