MARK BITTMAN'S SHRIMP IN GREEN SAUCE
Green sauce means different things to different cooks, but I like the Iberian interpretation best. It draws its color from parsley and its impact from chilies, scallions, and, mostly, garlic. I find it difficult to use too much garlic here, and have never really reached the outer limit; my recipe calls for six cloves, but twice that amount is not unreasonable. Shrimp is the perfect candidate for this green sauce: it can withstand high heat, it gives off some juices while it cooks, and its pink hue is absolutely gorgeous when surrounded by the flecks of green. This dish won't take you much more than half an hour. And although it's a perfect week-night meal, divided into eight it makes an impressive starter for a dinner party.

- Note: I made this using only a 1/4 of olive oil (I try to cut down on calories where I can), 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp (for 2 people that was still a lot, so we had leftovers) and a lot more garlic, I used about 10 cloves couldn't help myself, there's no such thing as too much garlic! I used a dry white wine (Chardonnay) for the liquid. The best shrimp I ever had!
- Also the author added if you want to make it Indian Style: substitute cilantro for the parsley and add 1 tablespoon of good curry powder.

Tips:
- Buy the best shrimp you can find. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Clean the shrimp properly. Devein the shrimp and remove the shells. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water.
- Cook the shrimp quickly. Shrimp only takes a few minutes to cook. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can use any type of vegetables you like, such as broccoli, carrots, celery, or zucchini.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the shrimp and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after cooking. You can garnish the dish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
Conclusion:
