Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 1 large red chili (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 100 milliliters Corona beer
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
- 1 loaf crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
1. Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the sliced garlic and red chili to the oil, sauteing gently until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Stir in the paprika, mixing it well into the oil for an additional 30 seconds.
5. Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Season them with sea salt and black pepper.
6. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink.
7. Flip the shrimp and pour in the Corona beer. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the beer reduce slightly.
8. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the shrimp with the freshly chopped parsley.
9. Transfer the shrimp and the garlic-chili oil to a serving dish.
10. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and warm crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful garlic-infused oil.
