Garlic and Sweet Chili Shrimp
Garlic and Sweet Chili Shrimp is the most delicious Appetizer, ready in under 15 minutes, or serve with rice for a light dinner
Best thing about appetizers (or snacks!) are the quickness most dishes are to prepare. There is a lot of Garlic in this Garlic and Sweet Chili Shrimp and garlic lovers always go crazy when I serve this dish.
We normally have this kind of dish as a snack while hubby and I catch up on our recorded television series’. But I also serve it as an appetizer quite frequently.
Back to the quick bit – snacks ? Don’t know about you, but I get these sudden snack attacks ! You know, out of the blue you have a craving for something and if it is for Shrimp – this recipe is perfect.
As far as appetizers go – well, it has to be delicious (of course!). I also do not want to spend more time preparing and cooking the appetizer than the main meal.
There is also no need for a dipping sauce with the Shrimp as it is already bursting with flavor and all you really need is a light lemon drizzle.
One more thing when I serve very garlicky dishes – I always leave sprigs of Parsley, to chew on afterwards, in a small bowl nearby as it takes care of a bad garlic breath. Not 100%, but it sure helps a little !

This would definitely be a winner in my house. We love shrimp, garlic, and lemon. Adding this to my list of football watching snacks! Thanks, Linda.
Yummy- I can't wait to try this! Found you on the Frugal crafty Blog Hop (I'm # 141 & 143). Off to go explore the rest of your recipes!
Oh wow, these look amazing. I could eat them as an appetizer, main meal or finger food. Either way I'd be happy…lol
Thanks for sharing at Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning 🙂
I found you on the Marvelous Monday linky party. Love this shrimp and garlic.
It is pretty difficult to manage to cook with shrimp out here in Arizona, since I know that nothing is fresh. I grew up in Massachusetts, so I was really spoiled with having fresh seafood. Anytime I have seafood out here in the desert I am really taking a risk, but seeing posts like yours really make me miss incorporating shrimp into my menu each week!
Thanks again for sharing at Bewitchin Projects! See ya next week! 😀

Hi, Linda! These look great. Love your recipe ideas! Our family really likes shrimp, so I'm always trying to find new ways to keep it interesting. This is going on our list! Pinned and tweeting!
I think those would always be a hit. I've been surprised how popular shrimp is now – even with kids (I never would have eaten it as a child!) Perfect summer appetizer!!
Oh yum I love Prawns, except I don't cook them Jules does, they look amazing.
