Shrimp 500 g de creveți (proaspeți sau congelați)

Fresh garlic bulb 6 căței de usturoi

Chili pepper 1 ardei iute roșu mic (opțional)

Extra virgin olive oil 125 ml de ulei de măsline extra virgin

Iodized salt 1 praf de sare de masă iodată

Ground black pepper 1 praf de piper negru măcinat

Fresh parsley bunch 1 mână de pătrunjel proaspăt

Preparation method

If using raw shrimp, clean them (leave the tail for easier handling) and remove the intestine. If using pre-cooked shrimp, simply rinse and pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

Peel the garlic and slice it thinly. Slice the chili pepper into thin strips (use less or none if you don't want the dish to be too spicy).

In a large pan or small ceramic dish, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and chili pepper and sauté until the garlic begins to turn golden. Watch carefully not to burn the garlic, as it will become bitter.
