Directions

Combine garlic, oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until the garlic slices are lightly golden brown. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and reserve oil.

Preheat the oven to 450ºF.

Combine the garlic oil, shrimp, ancho powder and thyme in a large cazuela or an oven proof shallow pan and season with salt and pepper. 

Roast the shrimp until pink and just cooked through, about 6 minutes, stirring once. 

 Serve shrimp from the cazuela or pan with bread to dip in the juices.
