Ingredients
2

Peel and devein the shrimp.
3

Peel the garlic and slice it (not too thin so it doesn't burn).
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.
5

When the garlic starts to turn golden, add the shrimp and stir.
6

After stirring for about 20 seconds, turn off the heat and cover. Let the shrimp finish cooking in the residual heat for about 2 minutes.
7

Serve in the same clay pot you cooked them in.
