Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups olive oil
6 medium garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half
20 medium-large shrimp, deveined and peeled with tails left on
1 hot pepper, cut in half and sliced very thin
1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250.
Place 4 serving dishes in oven to keep warm (use the white soufle like dishes).
Heat olive oil in large deep skillet over medium high heat for about 2 minutes or until oil is HOT.
Add garlic and pepper, cooking for 1 minute while stirring. Stiring prevents the garlic from getting burnt (creates a bitter taste).
Add half the shrimp to the pan and cook 30-45 seconds until side is golden, turn shrimp and cook the other side as previously stated.
Remove just shrimp and place 5 pieces in 2 of the 4 oven heated dishes. Close oven to keep warm.
Add remaining shrimp to skillet, cooking shrimp 30-45 seconds on each side.
Remove shrimp and place in other 2 empty dishes.
Take 1 teaspoon of oil mixture and spoon over shrimp in pots, garnish with parsley.
Serve to guest in warmed dishes.
