Italian Garlic Shrimp!

This is absolutley my favorite dish in the whole world! I make this A LOT! I actually found the recipe in the women's health magazine, back in 2010. And I've been making it ever since. Of course, the original recipe called for brandi, and at the time I was 19, and didn't know how to cook with alcohol. So I substituted that with zesty italian dressing and it came out perfect!

What you are going to need is:

10 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 Tbs of olive oil
1 bag of jumbo shrimp (thawed)
1/3 cup italian dressing
Crushed red pepper (to taste)

First, you want to peel your garlic then mince it. Once you've done that turn on your stove to a low-medium heat. Add your 2 Tbs of olive oil to a large pan. Add your minced garlic, and let brown. About a minute. Don't burn it.  Add your thawed shrimp and turn the heat up to medium-high. And let sit for about a minute. Add your italian dressing and your red pepper. Let boil for another 3 minutes, stirring about every minute. The italian dressing should thicken. And its ready to serve. You can garnish it with a little parsley if desired.

Let me know what you guys think!

In my picture it looks like soup but I only had extra small shrimp. When I make it again I will repost a correct picture.
