Preparation

Step 1
Add half the oil to a skillet and place over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden. Remove and reserve.
Step 2
Add the peppers and cook until they wilt, about four minutes. Remove the peppers and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining oil to the skillet and raise the heat. When almost smoking, add the shrimp and cook very fast until they begin to char -about four minutes. Salt lightly. Divide the shrimp among four plates and sprinkle with the garlic, peppers and cilantro.
Step 4
Serve immediately with boiled rice and hot pimente oil.
