SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON
A simple but lavish bath of olive oil and lemon juice is the Italian way of showing off superfresh seafood. The key, according to Marcella Hazan, is that the dish should never see the inside of a refrigerator, which changes the texture of the seafood and the flavor of the olive oil. She calls for shrimp in this recipe, but the formula also works with squid, clams and meaty fish fillets.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
- Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.

Tips:
- For a fresher taste, use raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp.
- To save time, use precooked shrimp and thaw them before making the salad.
- If you don't have kalamata olives, use black olives instead.
- For a spicier salad, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- For a more robust flavor, use a combination of olive oil and lemon juice instead of just olive oil.
- For a healthier salad, use low-fat or non-fat feta cheese.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
