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.
