Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Sprinkle the garlic and chiles into four gratin dishes. Divide the oil and butter among the dishes.
Place the gratin dishes on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat for about 6 minutes or until the butter has melted.
Divide the shrimp among the dishes, carefully so as not to splatter the hot oil on yourself, and bake for five more minutes or until the shrimp are pink and tender.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.

Notes

I am very diligent about removing all seeds from the peppers and any white-to-yellow interior membranes. This will give you a milder version of the pepper.

Leaving the tail end intact, they are easy to eat with your hands.

Be very careful when sliding the shrimp into the hot butter oil mixture so as not to splatter, as you can burn yourself.
Place the gratin dishes in a rimmed baking dish to prevent any spillage.
