Chile-Garlic Shrimp

From the kitchen of Carly

Garlic turns golden and nutty in Spanish olive oil before shrimp join the pan with dried chiles. A splash of brandy deepens everything. Minutes later, you've got a Spanish-style stunner that tastes like you've been cooking all day. Finish with parsley and serve warm.
