INSTRUCTIONS
(food & wine 1993)
(Soaking the shrimp in salt water gives them a fresh, briny flavor. Serve
with LOTS of crusty bread. My note: I'd probably skip that step, but will
include it anyway...and I've had this in spanish restaurants...it is
wonderful!)
In a medium bowl, stir the salt into 1 cup of water until dissolved. Add
the shrimp and let soak for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
In a heavy medium skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat until hot
but not smoking, about 4 minutes. Add the shrimp in 1 layer and sprinkle
the garlic & red pepper on top. Cook the shrimp, turning once, until
opaque, about 1 minute per side. Do not overcook. Stir in the vinegar and
parsley and serve.
