pepper flakes for some heat.
◦ Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are opaque and
cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

◦ Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

until they are slightly softened but still al dente. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Combine:
