Heating the oil and drying the shrimp
- sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 8 cloves garlic
Season the shrimp with sea salt and black pepper on one side, and thinly slice the garlic.
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and the crushed red pepper and mix continuously for about 1 minute until fragrant, without browning the garlic.

- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Season the alioli with a little sea salt and black pepper and whisk to a creamy sauce.
- crunchy baguette
Cut the baguette into 4 inch pieces and split each lengthwise.
