I ate this by the Gulf of Mexico, in a place with pink and avocado-green walls, a mariachi, and an outside shower. It tasted just as good last winter in Connecticut. Serve this, if you like, with Cebollas Curtidas (page 615) or any other relish or salad. Rice is also good, as are French fries.

Preparation
Step 1
Put the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the shrimp and turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns brown and crisp, about 10 minutes; do not burn. Sprinkle with salt and remove.
Step 2
Raise the heat to high and add the shrimp, along with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, turning once or twice, until pink and firm, about 5 minutes. Put the shrimp and oil on a platter and garnish with the garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve hot.
