Start with fresh shrimp, as they make a big difference in flavor.

Cook the shrimp according to the directions on a shrimp boil packet and set aside once cooked.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of canola oil and 7 garlic cloves, allowing the garlic to flavor the oil.

Once the garlic turns golden brown, remove the garlic cloves from the oil.

Add 2 cups of thinly sliced onions to the oil and cook until translucent, about 5-10 minutes.

Pour the cooked onions into a serving dish to create a bed for the shrimp.

Leave as much oil in the pan as possible after removing the onions.

Let the oil cool slightly before adding 1 cup of water to prevent splattering.

Add the cooked shrimp to the dish over the bed of onions.
