Quick and Easy Shrimp Recipe

I ended up using about 12 jumbo shrimp – we kept the tails on ( you do not have too but both my dad and I like how the look for the picture)

The Quick and Easy Shrimp only takes about 10 minutes to make – we cooked the shrimp in a skillet. Actually I should say my dad cooked the shrimp ( as you can see below)

To give the shrimp a little zip I used some red pepper flakes ( remember a little goes a LONG way)
