1 teaspoon salt,   
1/3 cup olive oil,   
1/2 lb large shrimp,   
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper,   
3 cloves garlic,  

Peel and devain shrimp. Press or mince garlic into small pieces. Add garlic, salt and pepper to shrimp. Marinate and let sit for 10 minutes. I use olive oil but if other types of oil suit you better, it probably won't change the taste that much.

Heat up the oil over medium heat. Pour the shrimp in and stir for 3 minutes. The shrimp should be just cooked, not over cooked. As soon as the shrimp turns from clear to white, it is ready. Serve hot.
