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 AJILLO: SHRIMP IN GARLIC



Gambas Ajillo: Shrimp in Garlic image

The Spanish tend to use a cazuela when cooking this dish as that is the most traditional method. A cazuela is an earthenware dish that can be used either on top of the oven over a gas flame or for baking inside the oven. Remember to cool this dish before washing, as it may crack due to extreme, rapid changes in temperature. A deep frying pan is a suitable alternative to cook this recipe, however, transfer the ingredients into a more attractive hot dish before serving.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings as a tapa or appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup olive oil
1 large clove garlic, peeled and sliced
1 large dry red hot chile pepper, chopped and sliced thinly with seeds
2 pounds fresh white shrimp, shelled
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Place the cazuela over a medium flame. Add the olive oil. When hot (steam comes off the surface, do not burn the oil, you will know because it will smell rancid) add the garlic. Sizzle until golden in color, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chiles and leave for 1 minute.
  • Turn off the heat just as the garlic starts to turn brown. (If the garlic turns brown you have over cooked it and will need to start again.)
  • Add the shelled shrimps and leave for 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt.
  • Serve with some fresh bread.

GAMBAS AL AJILLO ( GARLIC SHRIMP)



Gambas Al Ajillo ( Garlic Shrimp) image

This is probably one of the most famous Spanish tapas, available throughout Spain. Although my recipe is original, it is authentic as I have constantly revised it duplicating the flavors and consistency I have had in the best tapas bars. Although this can be made in any oven proof dish, I recommend a "cazuela" (terra cotta dish). Although difficult to find, it can be purchased online through "www.tienda.com".

Time 18m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil
2 chili peppers or 2 jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp in the oven proof ceramic dish, approximately 8 inches in diameter and at least 1 inch high.
  • Add garlic and pepper slices and cover with oil.
  • Sprinkle paprika and salt on top of oil.
  • If the dish can be used on the stove burner, heat on top of stove over medium high heat for about 5 minutes until the oil is bubbly and the shrimp are cooked.
  • If dish can not be used directly on the burner, place under the broiler in the oven and broil until the oil is bubbly and the shrimp are cooked (about 5 minutes after the oil starts to bubble) Do not overcook as the shrimp will become tough.
  • Serve with crispy french bread.
  • Great for soaking up the heated garlic oil.
