Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Thaw the tiger shrimp tails (if they're not fresh) and peel them, leaving the last shell segment and the tail on. Make a cut down the back and remove the vein.
Step 2:

Prep the seasonings. Crush 4–6 large garlic cloves with the flat of a knife and chop them into small cubes (a garlic press won't do here). I added about a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of adjika, and a couple of teaspoons of sesame seeds.
Step 3:

Mix all the seasonings with the shrimp and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil (vegetable oil works too, but olive is better).
Step 4:

Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 5:

Lay them on a hot skillet with no added oil (there's already plenty in the marinade).
Step 6:

Sear on both sides.
Step 7:

Arrange on a serving plate. Buon "Appetitto"! )))))))
