Camarones al ajillo

Method

1. 1 Slice the garlic thinly, using up to 15 cloves per batch.
2. 2 A large amount of garlic is the whole meaning of al ajillo; too little garlic means the dish is just pan-fried shrimp.
3. 3 Heat olive oil with sliced garlic over low heat for 5 minutes, until the garlic is lightly golden but not brown.
4. 4 Add the chopped dried chili peppers and stir for 30 seconds, then increase the heat to high.
5. 5 Add the shrimp and sear for 90 seconds on each side in the garlic oil.
6. 6 Melt the cold butter in a pan until it thickens, then squeeze in some lemon juice and serve with bread.
