Portuguese Shrimp in Green Sauce

• ¹⁄₃ cup olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic
• 6 scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
• 1 cup parsley without any thick stems
• 2 lbs shrimp
• 4 small whole dried chilies
• ¹⁄₃ cup vino verde
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
2. Combine garlic and oil in a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add the scallions and parsley and pulse until the mixture is minced. Toss with the shrimp, salt, pepper and chiles.
3. Put the shrimp in a large enough roasting pan that will hold them comfortably. Add the liquid and place the pan in the oven. Roast, stirring once, until the mixture is bubbly and hot and the shrimp are pink, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Serve immediately with rice or with a crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
