Brazilian-Style Peel And Eat Shrimp with Fried Garlic (Camarao ao Alho)

n Brazil, diminutive ruby-red, briny, thin-shelled shrimp are sautéd and served whole, complete with head and legs, glistening in olive oil and fried garlic.

Ingredients :

    • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 12 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    • 2 pounds medium shell-on, head-on shrimp (see note), rinsed and patted dry on paper towels
    • Kosher salt
    • Lemon, for serving

Direction :

 

  1. Add oil and 3/4 of garlic to a 12-inch skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until garlic is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer garlic to a bowl.

     

  2. Increase heat to high and heat until oil just starts smoking. Add shrimp all at once and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until starting to turn pink, about 1 minute. Return cooked garlic and remaining fresh garlic to pan, cook until shrimp is completely cooked through, about 1 minute longer, season with salt, transfer to a plate, and serve with lemon.
