Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

10 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 fresh red chili pepper, about six inches long, coarsely chopped
2 pounds fresh shrimp in their shells, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

Using a mortar and pestle pound the garlic until semifine, then add the chilies and pound until the mixture is fairly fine and has turned a bright red.
Cut the shrimp down the back and remove the black vein. Do not shell the shrimp. Set aside.
Place a wok or a large frying pan over high heat, add the oil and, when it is smoking, add the pounded garlic and chili. Stir-fry for about one minute, then add shrimp and salt to taste. Stir-fry for four to five minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked and turns a bright orange. Adjust seasoning. Serve immediately, with steamed rice.
