Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant (be careful not to burn it).
Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and red pepper flakes.
Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Pour in the dry sherry, and let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly while coating the shrimp.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing. Pair with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce or serve over rice or pasta if desired.
