This is a super duper simple dish that will get you lick'in your fingers by the time you are done eating it. In order to prove a point, I'll keep this post short and simple. (It's almost past my bed time too. :P)

Ingredients:
Big handful of defrosted shrimps.  Run frozen shrimps in cold water, let it sit for 2mins to defrost.  Presto! Works every time! Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with paper towel.

2.  Bring your pan on high heat, add a splash of olive oil and dry chili pepper.
3.  Once oil is hot, toss in 1 tsp of minced garlic and a small palm full of diced red onion.  Cook for 30 secs.
