Preparation

Step 1
Sprinkle shrimp with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. In a shallow casserole, preferably earthenware, heat oil with garlic and parsley until garlic begins to sizzle.
Step 2
Add shrimp and cook over medium heat, stirring and turning shrimp until they are opaque. Add sherry and salt to taste and cook another minute or two, until sherry evaporates and sauce thickens slightly. Serve immediately, with toothpicks or small forks and bread for sopping up sauce.
