Garlic fried shrimp

Clean the shrimp (12–16 pcs) from the shell. Make a cut along the back. Remove the intestine. Pat dry with paper towels.

Crush the garlic (2 cloves). Add it to the shrimp along with salt (to taste). Mix well. Let marinate for 1 hour.

Pour olive oil (100 ml) into a pan. Add the shrimp shells and garlic (2 cloves), sliced. Heat on low for 15–20 minutes, without frying. Strain the oil. Return it to a clean pan.

Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic (2 cloves), sliced, and dried chili (to taste). Cook for 1 minute.

Add the shrimp. Sauté for 1.5–2 minutes on one side. Flip. Pour in the brandy (1 tsp). Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the alcohol evaporates.

Remove from heat. Add finely chopped parsley (a few sprigs). Mix well.

Serve immediately, drizzled with the aromatic oil from the pan.
