* Time: 45 minutes
* Makes 4 servings
== Ingredients ==
* 1 to 1¼ lbs shrimp, shells on
* 5 cups shrimp or chicken stock, or water
* ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
* 4 cloves garlic, peeled
* 4 thick slices French or Italian bread
* 1 tsp ground cumin
* salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* minced fresh parsley leaves for garnish
== Directions ==
# Peel the shrimp and simmer the shells in a medium saucepan with the stock or water while you continue with the recipe.
# Place the olive oil in a large, deep saucepan or casserole and turn the heat to medium.
# Add the garlic cloves and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are a very deep golden, almost brown, about 10 minutes.
# Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
# Turn the heat to low and brown the bread in the oil on both sides, in batches if necessary; it will take about 5 minutes.
# Remove the slices and spread each with about ½ clove of the cooked garlic.
# Mince the remaining garlic.
# Cut each of the shrimp into 3 or 4 pieces.
# Strain the warmed stock into the casserole, turn the heat to medium, and bring to a gentle boil.
# Add the shrimp, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook over low heat for 3 or 4 minutes.
# Place a piece of bread in each of four bowls, then ladle in a portion of soup with shrimp.
# Sprinkle with the minced garlic, garnish, and serve.
