Ingredients:
- 1 lb large unshelled shrimp, preferably with the heads on, patted dry
- fragrant extra virgin olive oil, for serving (optional)
- lemon wedge, for serving (optional)
Directions:
- Spread the salt evenly on the bottom of a heavy 12-inch skillet, preferably cast iron. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until the salt is very hot and almost beginning to smoke. Place half of the shrimp on the salt and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the shrimp over and continue cooking until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and cook the remaining shrimp in the same way. The second batch may take less time to cook, since the salt will be very hot.
- Let the shrimp cool just enough to handle, then gently wipe off any excess salt with paper towels. Serve the shrimp with olive oil and lemon wedges if desired.
