Directions
Clean the shrimp by removing the legs and cutting along the back, through
the shell, to devein. Set aside.
Crush the garlic, ideally in a molcajete, with the salt; mix to a paste
with the water.
Put the tomatillos, chile, leaves, anise seed, if using, and water to
barely cover into a small pan over a low flame. Cook for 5 minutes. Drain
off all but 1/2 cup water. Transfer to blender and blend to a fairly rough
consistency, being careful if the mixture is still hot to leave room at the
top of the blender and to cover with a towel.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the shrimp in a single
layer. Add shrimp and stir-fry over very high heat for 1 minute. Add the
garlic mixture, and fry another minute. Add the blended ingredients and
continue to cook over a very high flame, turning the shrimp constantly, for
about 2 more minutes.
Set aside to cool slightly and for the shrimp to absorb the flavors.
Drizzle with olive oil just before serving in large bowl, family-style.
Makes 3 servings.
