  4. 4

    In a clay pot (or a skillet if you don't have one or if using an induction cooktop), heat the garlic and chili peppers over high heat. Add plenty of olive oil (enough to cover the bottom by about 1/2 inch) so you can dip bread in it.

    When the garlic starts to turn golden, add the shrimp and stir.
