This garlic shrimp dish is not only perfect for a meal, it's also fabulous for an improvised appetizer.

I would tend to double or triple the proportions if I serve these shrimp as an aperitif because they disappear quickly!

Note : if you want to marinate your shrimp for longer, for a whole day for example, do not put the lemon juice in the marinade. Add it just before cooking the shrimp.

To make it even easier and faster, you can use a garlic press like this to grate the garlic. It's solid, practical, and has great reviews.
