Ingredients: 4 jumbo shrimp (16–20 count), heads and shells intact; 2 cups sea salt (or kosher salt); 1/4 cup water; For the burnt garlic oil:; 1/2 cup vegetable oil; 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced; 2 dried chilies, crushed; 2 scallions, white parts minced; For crispy garlic rice shards:; 1 cup cooked jasmine rice (cold); 1/4 cup vegetable oil; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp salt; Lime wedges; Fresh cilantro sprigs

Jumbo shrimp are buried in a salt crust, grilled over direct flame until the shell chars dramatically, then cracked open at the table to reveal sweet, briny meat. A burnt-garlic oil intensifies the umami, while crispy fried rice shards add textural crunch. Theater and technique in every bite.
