Ingredients
1½cupsolive oil
6medium garlic cloves
20medium shrimp
1hot pepper
1tbspfresh parsley,chopped
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Place 3 serving crocks or soufflé molds in warm oven until ready to use.
Pour olive oil into large, deep skillet. Heat over medium high heat for about 1½ minutes, until the oil reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer or until a shrimp dipped in the oil sizzles briskly.
Add the garlic and pepper; cook for about 1 minute. Add half the shrimp, and should be about ⅓ covered with oil.
Cook for 30 to 45 seconds, until golden on one side. Using tongs, turn shrimp and cook for another 30 seconds.
Using a heat-proof slotted spoon, transfer shrimp and garlic to warmed crocks, dividing evenly and discarding the pepper.
Add the remaining shrimp to the oil and repeat. Carefully pour some hot oil over each portion.
Garnish with parsley, serve, and enjoy!
