CRISPY GARLIC SHRIMP

This may be controversial but I prefer shrimp with the shell on. I think that it locks in the flavors of the shrimp meat better and allows you to suck the seasonings out of the shell. This dish was a hit with Ilayda and I hope you enjoy.

P.S. don't be afraid to get the garlic and ginger extra crispy
