Shrimp In Garlic Sauce, Spanish Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb small shrimp, shelled and deveined
    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    8 -10 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
    2 dried red chili peppers, each broken into 3 pieces
    1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika (if you can get pimenton, the smoky Spanish paprika, all the better)
    3 tablespoons finely minced parsley
Preparation
    About 1/2 hour before cooking, season shrimp well with salt.
    Place shrimp on paper towels; let rest.
    When ready to cook, add olive oil to a large saute pan over med-high heat.
    Add in garlic and dried chili pepper pieces; saute 2 minutes and make sure the garlic doesn't brown.
    Dry the shrimp well; add them to the hot oil and turn them quickly to coat with the oil.
    Cook, tossing, until the shrimp are just done-no more than 2 minutes.
    As the shrimp finish cooking, sprinkle with the paprika and parsley; stir to blend well.
    Remove from heat; add salt to taste.
    Divide among 4 appetizer plates and serve immediately with good bread for sopping up the oil.
