Preparation:
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Clean the shrimps by removing the shell and gut.
Sauté the Garlic:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat and add the garlic. Once lightly browned, mix in chili flakes until the oil turns bright red, then add the shrimps.
Cook the Shrimp:
Cook the shrimp for a few minutes until they turn white. Stir in white pepper and paprika. This should take under five minutes. The oil will bubble, infusing the dish with flavour. Garnish with chopped parsley.
