5. 5

   Note: I made this using only a 1/4 of olive oil (I try to cut down on calories where I can), 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp (for 2 people that was still a lot, so we had leftovers) and a lot more garlic, I used about 10 cloves couldn't help myself, there's no such thing as too much garlic! I used a dry white wine (Chardonnay) for the liquid. The best shrimp I ever had!

   Also the author added if you want to make it Indian Style: substitute cilantro for the parsley and add 1 tablespoon of good curry powder.
