"SPANISH TAPAS RECIPE: Recipe from the Restaurante Carballeira in Barcelona, Spain. Dates from the '60's era and is from my grandmother's recipe box. Quick, easy and if you are doing it in front of guests, kind of impressive."

• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 lb shrimp (in the shell)
• 3 tablespoons coarse salt
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

directions

1. Place shrimp in a bowl, add salt and toss so that each shrimp is coated with some of the salt.
