GARLIC SHRIMP

Category: Fish and Seafood

3/4 lb small shrimp in their shells
Salt and paprika
4 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 small dried red chili pepper, seeds removed and cut in half, or 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice and dry white wine or vermouth
2 tbsp minced parsley

Shell the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and paprika. Heat the oil, garlic and chili peppers or pepper flakes in a medium skillet. When the garlic is just beginning to brown, add the shrimp and cook, stirring, about 1 minute, or until just done and firm to the touch. Stir in the lemon juice, wine and parsley. Serve immediately, preferably in a small casserole.
