2 lg clove Garlic peeled and pressed
Butterfly the raw shrimp and remove the black vein. Rinse and dry the shrimp.
Put oil a deep pan with garlic, leek, red bell pepper, peas and spices. Saute until the leeks and peppers begin to brown and excess water boils out of the pan.
Add dry shrimp and treat them as if you are deep frying them in the vegetables and oil---they are not breaded so they won't brown very much.
Serve it with oil in a wide shallow bowl per person.
Serve with long grain rice or French bread slices for dipping in the flavored oil.
