Categories     Bread     Sauce     Garlic     Shrimp

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 small dried chile, coarsely chopped, or 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 pound peeled shrimp, preferably small (more than 40 per pound), or larger shrimp, cut up
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the oil, garlic, and chile in an 8- to 10-inch skillet, preferably cast iron, and turn the heat to medium. When the garlic begins to sizzle and turn golden, add the shrimp. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp just turn pink and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the salt, garnish with the parsley, and serve immediately, directly from the pan.
  • Shrimp with Garlic, Tomatoes, and Chiles
  • Use 2 or 3 chiles, or to taste. When the garlic sizzles, add 1 cup cut-up seeded tomatoes (canned are fine; drain them first) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes saucy, about 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and proceed as directed. If you like, you can also increase the amount of tomatoes and use this as a pasta sauce.
