STEPS :
- Make the aioli: in a small bowl, crush the garlic with a pinch of salt until it
forms a smooth paste. Add the egg yolk and dry mustard, and beat well. Beat in the
oil, drop by drop, whisking constantly until the mixture is thick and smooth and
all the oil has been absorbed. Beat in the lemon juice and add pepper to taste.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the shrimp, and toss over high heat for 4-5
minutes until the shells turn bright pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and
drain on paper towels.
- To serve, arrange the shrimp on warmed plates, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and
garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs. Serve with individual bowls of aioli.
