1-2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

If it starts to smoke, remove the pan from the heat for a moment. Add the chiles to the pan and toss to coat with oil. Cook 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and garlic to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat with oil. Let the shrimp cook undisturbed for 1 minute before tossing again so they get a little bit of a sear. Stir-fry until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. off the heat and mix in the cilantro, then the lime juice. Serve hot or at room temperature. Serve alone, over rice, or in a folded heated flour or corn tortilla.
