Ingredients

1. 3/4 cup olive oil
2. 4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3. 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
4. 5 small dried red chiles (See Note)
5. Salt

1. In a large, heavy nonreactive skillet, combine the olive oil and garlic slices and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the garlic is lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and dried red chiles and cook, stirring frequently, just until the shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately remove the skillet from the heat and season the shrimp lightly with salt.
