Chef's Notes
Never use pre-cooked shrimp unless you enjoy chewing on tiny rubber bands. Fresh is absolute law in this kitchen!
Pro Tip
Use the best quality extra virgin olive oil you can afford. Since oil is the sauce, you want it to taste like liquid gold when you dip your bread into it.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping wet shrimp into boiling hot olive oil turns your kitchen into an involuntary oil-wrestling arena that requires a hazmat suit to clean.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the shrimp blush? Because it saw the garlic butter naked in the pan!
The Culinary Science
Garlic contains allicin, a sulfur compound released when sliced that creates that signature punchy aroma when meeting hot olive oil.
