Shrimp in Green Sauce

• 6 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 6 scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
• 1 cup parsley without any thick stems
• 2 pounds medium to large shrimp (20 to 30 per pound), peeled
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 small dried chiles or a few pinches of hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1/3 cup shrimp shell, fish, or chicken stock, preferably homemade (pages 160162), white wine, or water

1. Preheat the oven to 500F.
2. Combine the garlic and oil in a small food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
3. Add the scallions and parsley and pulse until the mixture is minced.
4. Toss with the shrimp, salt, pepper, and chiles.
5. Put the shrimp in a roasting pan that will hold them comfortably.
6. Add the liquid and place the pan in the oven.

8. Serve immediately.
