Instructions
- Using a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the peeled garlic cloves and boil for 2-3 minutes. Drain and chop the garlic finely.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the shrimp, garlic, parsley, thyme and ginger. Add the salt and pepper and cook shrimp over high heat for 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the sherry and cook for 1 minute, then, using a slotted spoon, remove shrimp and set aside, covering them to keep warm.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, butter and cornstarch to the skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp back into the sauce, cook for a minute or so, then serve. Add red pepper flakes, if desired.
