My friends are so very patient with me.
BFFSteve-Annafirst emailed me this spicy, peppery shrimp recipe, a favorite of hers, four years ago.

Hey Stevie, we finally made it!
Just in time for Lent.
Dang, what took us so long?

It certainly packs a punch though, with all of the black pepper the recipe asks for.
Feel free to cut back on the pepper to tone it down a bit.
Ingredient Substitutions for Garlic Shrimp
The recipe also calls for a tablespoon of brandy.

This I think is an essential ingredient for the recipe.
(Actually with so few ingredients, they’re all essential.)
There is no substitute.

If you simply cannot cook with alcohol, add a dab of butter to the olive oil.
It will change the flavor of the finished dish, but it should still taste great.

Trader Joe’s has great frozen uncooked, shrimp, shelled and de-veined with tails on.
To defrost frozen shrimp, place in a bowl of ice water in the refrigerator.
Add the shrimp and marinate at least an hour or up to overnight in the fridge.
Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker
Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat and add olive oil.
Add the shrimp and garlic mixture and cook quickly, tossing the shrimp.
The longer the shrimp has been marinating, the less time it takes to cook.
Cook until the shrimp has turned opaque (generally only 2-3 minutes).
Garnish with chopped parsley.
