Find all prime numbers pp such that y2=x3+4xy^{2}=x^{3}+4 x has exactly pp solutions in integers modulo pp.

In other words, determine all prime numbers pp with the following property: there exist exactly pp ordered pairs of integers (x,y)(x, y) such that x,y∈{0,1,…,p−1}x, y \in\{0,1, \ldots, p-1\} and

p divides y2−x3−4xp \text { divides } y^{2}-x^{3}-4 x
