For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the shrimp in a tablespoon of the lemon juice and a clove of minced garlic for 15 minutes before cooking. If you don't have peanut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil can be substituted. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the shrimp to get a good sear. To prevent the shrimp from overcooking, don't overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.
