Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
Kosher salt
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, (chopped)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes ((start with less if you don't want it too spicy))
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons dry sherry or dry white wine
Juice of ½ lemon
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry and season with kosher salt. Set aside for now.
  • Heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat up to 60 seconds or until the garlic gains some color (be careful not to burn it).
  • Add the shrimp and paprika. Cook briefly, tossing regularly, and watching that the flesh turns opaque with a pearly pink color (about 3 minutes or so; this will depend on the size of the shrimp). Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Stir in sherry, lemon juice and parsley.
  • Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving bowl. Serve with your favorite crusty bread.

SPANISH GARLIC SHRIMP (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)



Spanish Garlic Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo) image

Every Spanish restaurant serves this dish of shrimp cloaked in garlic-infused olive oil with smoky hints of paprika and a touch of sweetness from sherry. Make sure you have all your ingredients together before you head to the stove since, start to finish, this cooks in mere minutes. It's great for a tapas party, since you can prep everything ahead of time. Just spoon the shrimp and sauce over toasted bread and sprinkle more cayenne and parsley on top to enjoy.

GAMBAS AL AJILLO (SHRIMP W/ GARLIC) CATALONIA



Gambas Al Ajillo (Shrimp W/ Garlic) Catalonia image

While this is usually served as a tapa, it is too good not to eat as a main course. After trying the ones that were posted here on Zaar, I found myself still searching for the gambas we had in Barcelona. Finally I found the recipe with the flavor and creaminess of the dish we fell in love with in Spain! The same dish can be made with squid, cut into rings, or scallops. Serve with lots of warm crusty bread to sop up the sauce.... You will not want to waste a drop! (Make sure you are "warming" the olive oil and the butter, not cooking it off..... cause you'll want every last bit of it for the sauce)
