Chili Garlic Shrimp

These Chili Garlic Shrimp are insanely easy to make, yet loaded with tons of flavor! It is made in one skillet, with only 10 ingredients and is ready in under 15 minutes! Chili Garlic Shrimp is great served as an appetizer or entree dish. I recommend pairing it with our Easy Grilled Kale and Garlic Parmesan Mashed Cauliflower. Other ideas include serving on tacos, a salad, or with your favorite sides of choice!
