Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 60 milliliters dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 8 slices baguette slices, toasted
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the smoked paprika and red chili flakes to the skillet, stirring them into the oil for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start turning pink and opaque.
Flip the shrimp and pour in the dry white wine. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp evenly and cook for another 1 minute.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish and drizzle the pan juices over them.
Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices to soak up the flavorful sauce.
