Giant Garlic Shrimp

This is a very simple appetizer, but oh-so-delicious. You could also serve this over pasta for a main course and add some sliced chile for a bit of a kick. Because large shrimp (prawns) often come from farms in Asia that do not follow sustainable practices, consider buying wild-caught Pacific spot prawns or American-farmed freshwater prawns, both of which are well managed. One good source for freshwater prawns is Lauren Farms (laurenfarms.com).
