Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons hot red-pepper flakes
2 teaspoons salt
48 medium shrimp, peeled
Flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Preparation
Divide oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and salt evenly among 4 earthenware or ceramic flame-proof crocks.
One at a time or all at once, heat crocks over high heat until oil sizzles, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add 12 shrimp to each crock, and cook just until pink, about 2 minutes. Immediately remove crocks from heat, sprinkle shrimp with parsley, and serve them still sizzling.
