Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shrimp to the pan and season with garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and fully cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Notes
If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed before cooking for the best texture.
For a dairy-free version, omit the parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative like nutritional yeast.
Can substitute shrimp with chicken breast or tofu for different protein options.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
