Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled
  • 3, thinly sliced garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried red chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tbsp dry sherry
  • 1 1/2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 crusty baguette

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt.
  2. Warm the olive oil, garlic, and chili flakes in a wide skillet over medium heat until the garlic turns pale gold, about 3 minutes.
  3. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the shrimp and paprika, and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink.
  4. Pour in the sherry and let it bubble for 1 minute.
  5. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the garlicky oil.
