Ingredients

  • •1.5 lbs Shrimp

  1. 1Peel and devein shrimp, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. 3Sauté diced onion for 3 minutes until softened and translucent.

  5. 5Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 2 minutes per side.
