3 pounds/1.36 kg fresh sea snails, in shells

1/4 cup/58 ml extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 fresh chile pepper, chopped

1 cup/235 ml white wine

Salt, to taste

Directions

Special equipment:

Thin wooden skewers or sturdy toothpicks

To clean and cook sea snails: Boil the snails for approximately 20 minutes in a pot of water. This will remove the sand and grit trapped inside the shell and cook the snail meat.
In a saucepan, heat up the olive oil and saute the garlic and chopped chile pepper. Then add the snails. Add the wine and cook for a few minutes. Add salt, parsley and toss together well. Serve immediately.
