Garlic Shrimp
Shrimp cooked fast in olive oil heavy with sliced garlic and chile flakes, served still sizzling in the same small dish, with bread on the side for the garlicky oil.
Where it comes from
The dish is standard tapas bar fare across Spain, built to be cooked quickly to order in a small earthenware dish over high heat, a format suited to serving many small plates fast.
What cooks argue about
Cooks argue over the garlic: sliced thin and cooked until golden for a milder flavor, or added late and barely cooked for a sharper bite that turns bitter if it browns too far.
