Shrimp In Garlic Olive Oil And Chilies

INGREDIENTS

Soultana’s extra virgin olive oil

8 cloves garlic, 7 smashed plus 1 whole clove

3 dried chilies, broken into pieces

5 thick slices of rustic Italian bread

1 pound small shrimp (16-20 Count) peeled and deveined

Kosher salt

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 bunch of fresh Italian parsley, leaves finely chopped

2 cups baby arugula


DIRECTIONS

Hi Generously coat a large sauté pan with Soultana’s extra virgin olive oil and toss in 4 of the smashed garlic cloves and 1 of the broken chilies.

Bring the pan to high heat — it should be screaming hot!

Toast or grill the bread, then rub each slice with the whole garlic clove, drizzle with Soultana’s extra virgin olive oil, and keep in a warm spot.

As the garlic starts to just slightly turn brown, toss in half the shrimp and season with salt. Stir and cook for 1 minute, or until shrimp just turn pink. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in half the lemon juice and half the parsley.

Transfer the shrimp to a dish and keep warm.

Repeat this entire process with the remaining ingredients.

Divide the arugula among 4 serving bowls, top with shrimp, and drizzle with the cooking juices. Cut each slice of toast in half on the bias and tuck the bread into the side of the bowl. Serve with Love

I grew up right across from Greece, in Alexandria , Egypt which is another great civilization. My wife however, grew up in Greece and I have had the great pleasure to travel there almost yearly for over a decade now. I immediately fell in love with the beauty of this country and of course the food and it wasn’t long before I realized what a vital role the Greek Olive oil plays in the Mediterranean diet and the taste of all the Greek dishes!
