Tapas – Prawns in garlic oil prepared in the cazuela

Pour about a finger’s breadth of olive oil into a 17 cm diameter cazuela (Spanish clay dish). Peel the garlic cloves, slice them lengthwise, and add them to the oil with the chili pepper. Heat on a hotplate until the garlic begins to simmer and is lightly browned. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes. The shrimp are done when they are pink. Do not overcook them, as this will prevent them from becoming dry. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately in the cazuela. This dish is delicious with baguette dipped in the olive oil.
