Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Cut the top off the whole garlic head so the cloves show but the bulb stays together. Set it on a large sheet of foil, drizzle generously with olive oil, and wrap it closed. Roast for about 10 minutes, until slightly tender and fragrant, then let cool briefly.
3. Once cool enough to handle, peel and crush or chop the roasted garlic as finely as possible.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the roasted garlic, cilantro, lime juice, white wine, extra virgin olive oil and harissa together. Set the sauce aside.
5. Pat the shrimp dry, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and toss. Heat a cast iron skillet, grill or griddle over high heat, then cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, until just pink. Even the largest shrimp take about 5 minutes, so do not overcook them.
6. Immediately toss the cooked shrimp in the garlic sauce and serve.
