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.

Steps:
- Slice garlic thinly. Season shrimp with kosher salt and paprika. Mix to coat.
- Heat garlic and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and increase heat to high. Toss and turn shrimp with tongs until starting to curl but still undercooked, about 2 minutes. Pour in sherry. 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.

- Heat the oil in a large saute pan or dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the green beans,spices, chipotle, adobo sauce and fish stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Add shrimp. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes (shrimp will just start to turn pink but still appear uncooked). Remove pan from heat, cover and allow shrimp to stand until they turn bright pink (this takes approximately 5 minutes).
- Garnish each portion with the cilantro (chopped, if desired). Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side.
- This is good served with rice and warm corn tortillas to soak up the juice, refried beans and sliced avocado.
- NOTE: if you prefer, jarred nopalitos may be substituted for the green beans.
