Preparation

1. Put the shrimp in a bowl, toss with two teaspoons of salt, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Rinse shrimp and pat dry.
3. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet or shallow heat-proof casserole. Add garlic and saute until slices just begin to color. Skim them from the pan and reserve them.
4. Increase the heat to high. Add the shrimp and sear about a minute, until they are just cooked through. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the pepper and return the garlic to the dish. Season to taste with salt, toss all the ingredients together and serve at once.
