Shrimp in Garlic Sauce

• 1/2 3/4 pound shrimp, preferably very small, shelled
• Kosher or sea salt
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 large cloves garlic, peeled and very coarsely chopped
• 1 medium-hot dried red chile pepper, such as Spanish guindilla or guajillo, stem and seeds removed, in 2 pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, preferably Spanish smoked
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley

1. Dry the shrimp well and sprinkle salt on both sides.
2. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3. Heat the oil in four ramekins or one shallow 8-inch casserole, preferably earthenware.
4. Add the garlic and chile pepper, and when the garlic starts to turn golden (be careful not to overcook) add the shrimp.
5. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are just done.
6. Sprinkle in the paprika, parsley, and salt.
7. Serve immediately, right in the cooking dish if possible.
8. Provide lots of good bread for dunking.
