This dish is ridiculously fast and easy to prepare. It’s so good, people will think you spent hours on this dish, just don’t tell them it only took you 15 minutes. If you’re that kind of person, just garnish it by adding, I don’t know, chopped parsley, lemon, you know what, I don’t know, try Pinterest. Because when it comes to food, we like getting right down to business, we don’t garnish or eat art.

You’ll need these: Shrimp, Sprite or any orange soda and cooking oil.

Let’s get started, shall we?

STEP 1: Snip off these two parts (maybe include the tail, too) unless you want antennas dangling down your throat and rostrums stabbing your gums.

STEP 4: Once the Sprite is mostly gone, you've got a pot of shrimp ready to be sauteed. Use a small amount of oil and get those arms to work!
