Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 lb Shrimp (16-20/lb) 1 ea Chili Pepper Seeded/Minced
3 c Spanish Olive Oil 1 ea Loaf French Bread 1" Slices
4 ea Large Red Bell Peppers * 1 x Feta Cheese (optional)
8 ea Cloves Garlic **

* Bell peppers should be seeded and cut into thin julienne
strips. ** Garlic cloves should be peeled and cut into 1/4-inch
chunks. ~------------------------------------------------------
~----------------- Slit the shrimp up the back with a sharp knife.
Remove the vein, but do not peel shrimp.
Set them aside. Combine 2 cups of olive oil and the red pepper
strips in a deep heavy skillet or saute pan. Heat slowly. Cook very
gently until the peppers are extremely tender but not at all browned.
(The oil will turn a lovely rose color.) Set peppers aside. Pour the
remaining oil into another skillet with the garlic pieces. Stew the
garlic slowly for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender and golden. Scoop out
the garlic with a strainer or slotted spoon and add it to the
peppers. Heat the garlic oil until it ripples.
Throw in the minced chili pepper and the shrimp.
Saute, tossing the shrimp in the oil, until they turn pink and are
just done. To serve, spoon the peppers and their oil into a serving
dish. Surround with the shrimp. Serve with bread. Each diner soaks
slices of bread in the oil and piles the bread with peppers and
garlic. Feta cheese may be eaten with it and the shrimp goes on top.
