Directions
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.
Toss with rest of ingredients.
If you can let them marinate in refrigerator for an hour they would be more flavorful.
