  2. Pat down 12 raw jumbo shrimp (peeled & deveined) with paper towels, then season the shrimp with sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper

  3. Heat a large fry pan with a medium-high heat, after 4 minutes and the pan is nice and hot, pour in a generous tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and swirl the pan so the olive oil coats the entire surface, instantly add the shrimps into the pan, after 1 minute flip them to cook the other side, after 2 minutes, that´s 1 minute per side, add the green garlic sauce into the pan and mix everything together until well combined, remove the pan from the heat and transfer to a serving dish, serve next to a crusty baguette, enjoy!
