Ingredients

  1. 3 pounds/1.36 kg fresh sea snails, in shells
  2. 1/4 cup/58 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  7. Bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped

Instructions

  1. 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.
