Ingredients
30 Large & lively shrimp
10 Extra-sharp skewers
3-4 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 Thigh-crushed garlic clove
1 Glass of white wine
1 teaspoon of thyme
Bacon
Salt & pepper to taste
1 Gamil to do all the work for you
1 Well-strung Lyre to play while you're waiting for the shrimp to cook
Remember, as in art, one must suffer for one's work. Well, my personal maxim is that everyone should suffer except me, and if I do say so myself, those are words to live by.
Instructions
Now, my little sweetmeats, our job here isn't to cook as much as it is to supervise. Special attention must be paid to the ten extra sharp skewers. Are they really extra sharp? If pressed against your Gamil's forearm, do they draw blood? These are the tough questions that we as culinary leaders must ask ourselves. Would it help if the skewers were blisteringly hot as well as sharp? Would olive oil improve ease of skewer penetration? See how difficult my job is? Hmph! And you thought all I did all day was lounge around on my well cushioned couch doing nothing but eat.
Never forget that the key to good cooking is in the details. Have the volatile oils in the garlic caused someone to cry during its preparation? Are the shrimp lucid? Is the wine sour? And, most importantly of all, can you honestly say you have done all you possibly can to facilitate the cooking process?
