Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic and beat it well with the olive oil the zest and the spices in a bowl.
2

Set it aside for a while to allow for the saffron to dissolve and give your oil a nice red color!
3

Clean the fresh shrimp by slitting the backs (not too deep) and devein them leaving the head and the tail.
4

Place them in rows in a baking pan, pour the flavored olive oil over them, cover with cling film and set them in the fridge to marinade for about 2 hours.
5

Preheat the oven to 220°C and place the baking tray on a top rack with the grill on.
6

Bake each side for about 4-5' (you should turn them over in the baking tray carefully so that the heads don't fall off).
7

Serve in a platter sprinkled with dill all around (or parsley, whatever you have available) and red pepper for decoration..
8

The oil is very tasty and if you don't count the calories attack it with good bread!

The heads are divinely tasty and if you are not shy, suck them!!!
