SPANISH GARLIC SHRIMP (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)
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.

Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce comes up to a boil and shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley with a spoon.

- If you have whole shrimp, remove the shrimp heads, shells, and legs, leaving the tails on. To prepare for cooking, add three raw shrimp to each of your skewers by piercing them at each end (once at the tip and once just above the tail. They should look like the letter C on the skewer).
- Meanwhile, place a large skillet (large enough to fit your skewers) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, and when hot, the garlic. When the garlic is aromatic (about 1 minute), place the skewers, 3 at a time, in the skillet. Saute for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. (You can add a bit more oil to the pan if the shrimp start sticking).
- Remove from the pan and place on a plate, dressing with lemon juice. Garnish with parsley, flakes of sea salt, and serve with crusty bread.
