Ingredients

• 4 * 4 heads of garlic, skins removed, smashed with a knife
• 2 * 2 cups of good extra virgin olive oil, or enough to cover all of the garlic in a small 11×7 roasting pan
• * juice of one lime
• 1 * 1 tsp salt
• 2 * 2 chipotle peppers, diced
• 1/2 * 1/2 lb of large uncooked shrimp, shell removed up until the tail, deveined

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Begin by breaking down all of your garlic. Add the garlic to roasting dish, and add in all of the oil, making sure all of the garlic is covered. Carefully move the pan to the oven, and cook for roughly 30 minutes. If you do not have a roasting pan, you can do this on the stove, on medium to low heat, just until the oil lightly bubbles, for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, carefully remove from the oven, and stir in the salt and chipotle peppers, and add in the lime juice. Stir, and place back in the oven for another 30 to 40 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven, and let cool before placing it in a storage container that you can put in the refrigerator.

To make the shrimp, add about 1/4 cup of the oil, and some pieces of garlic to a large skillet. Bring to a medium-low heat, and add in the shrimp, and cook for a few minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Plate and serve.
