By Floridaberry

Dick and I both really enjoyed.

Ingredients

• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
• pinch dried red pepper flakes
• 1/2 bay leaf
• 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 ounces small fresh shrimp, shelled
• pinch coarse sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

1.Heat up olive oil in a small skillet, add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Heat over medium-high until the garlic is sizzling and pale golden.

2. Add the shrimp and cook while stirring, about 2 minutes.

3. Season with coarse sea salt.

Tip: This easy tapas recipe calls for chopped garlic. Simply use a knife to finely chop garlic and do not use food processor as much as possible as it gets garlic to taste a little more bitter than usual.
