Preparation

1. Put the olive oil in a skillet just big enough to hold the shrimp in one layer and turn the heat to low. Add the garlic and adjust the heat so that it barely sizzles; when it colors nicely, add the saffron, chipotle and cumin, and stir for a minute or so. (All of the seasonings can be adjusted to taste.)
2. Add the shrimp and season well. Raise the heat a bit and cook, turning once or twice, until firm, 5 minutes or less depending on their size. Garnish and serve.
