Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 or 4 large cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers
2 or more small dried hot red chiles
Grated zest of 1 orange
Juice from 1 orange
16 large shrimp, peeled
Coarse salt
1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine oil and garlic in a skillet no larger than 10 inches across. Turn the heat to medium, and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle, then turn the heat to medium-low. When garlic is blond, stir in chiles, orange zest, and orange juice. Add shrimp, and raise the heat to high.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally and sprinkling with salt, until the shrimp are all pink, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and add most of the cilantro and the lemon juice. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve garnished with the remaining cilantro.
