Preparation

Step 1

Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the slivered garlic, and cook gently until soft and just starting to color, stirring occasionally. Place the shrimp in the pan in a single layer. Add the minced garlic, chili pepper, and orange zest. Cook, undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. When the shrimp are pink on 1 side, turn them over. Add the parsley, salt and pepper, and sherry, raise the heat slightly, and cook until all the shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes more. Serve immediately.
