Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 pieces garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
- 1 piece red chili (thinly sliced)
- 60 milliliters olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (preferably smoked)
- 60 milliliters dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (optional, to taste)
- 2 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced garlic and red chili to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and golden (be careful not to burn it).
Sprinkle the smoked paprika into the skillet and stir for about 10 seconds to release its flavor.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper (if using).
Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip them over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh citrus burst. It's delicious with crusty bread to soak up the garlic-infused oil.
