Ingredients

3/8 teaspoon saffron threads
1/3 cup olive oil
12 large garlic cloves, minced

    Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling water until just tender. Drain. Combine wine and saffron in small bowl.

    Step 2

    Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-low-heat. Add garlic and sauté until just beginning to color, about 3 minutes.

Cook until shrimp are just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to bowl, using slotted spoon. Add potatoes to skillet and boil until liquid thickens to sauce consistency, about 6 minutes.
