Sizzling Garlic Shrimp

1. 1

   Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then sprinkle salt over them.

2. 2

   Place the olive oil and garlic in a 10- to 11-inch earthenware cazuela and heat over medium-low heat until the oil shimmers and the garlic begins to sizzle gently.

3. 3

   Cook until the garlic is very fragrant but not colored, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary.

4. 4

   Add the chile and stir for a few seconds.

5. 5

   Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they just begin to turn pink, about 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Season with salt to taste, stir in the parsley, and cook for a few seconds longer.

7. 7

   Serve the shrimp in the cazuela with plenty of bread alongside.

8. 8

   Variations: This dish can be made with large shrimp, in which case I like to cook them in their shells to preserve their texture.

9. 9

   You can also prepare mushrooms, clams, or small pieces of chicken the same way.
