Shrimp, Spanish style

Step 1: Dump enough sea salt in a saute pan to create a nice comfy bed for the shrimp. Don't be shy.

Step 2: Turn up heat as high as it will go.

Step 3: Lay shrimp on salt.

Step 4: Let the salt burn, smoke and blacken while it imparts a deliciously smoky flavor to the shrimp.

Step 5: Open the window.

Step 6: Make sure the shrimp have parts that are browned and crusty, that's where the flavor is. 

Step 7: Take off the shrimp heads (sorry to my fellow squeamish Americans, but they are de rigeur in Europe) 

Step 8: Consume with gusto.
