SPANISH GARLIC SHRIMP (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)

Every Spanish restaurant serves this dish of shrimp cloaked in garlic-infused olive oil with smoky hints of paprika and a touch of sweetness from sherry. Make sure you have all your ingredients together before you head to the stove since, start to finish, this cooks in mere minutes. It's great for a tapas party, since you can prep everything ahead of time. Just spoon the shrimp and sauce over toasted bread and sprinkle more cayenne and parsley on top to enjoy.

Steps:

  • Slice garlic thinly. Season shrimp with kosher salt and paprika. Mix to coat.
  • Heat garlic and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and increase heat to high. Toss and turn shrimp with tongs until starting to curl but still undercooked, about 2 minutes. Pour in sherry. Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce comes up to a boil and shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley with a spoon.

GAMBAS AJILLO: SHRIMP IN GARLIC

The Spanish tend to use a cazuela when cooking this dish as that is the most traditional method. A cazuela is an earthenware dish that can be used either on top of the oven over a gas flame or for baking inside the oven. Remember to cool this dish before washing, as it may crack due to extreme, rapid changes in temperature. A deep frying pan is a suitable alternative to cook this recipe, however, transfer the ingredients into a more attractive hot dish before serving.

Gambas Ajillo: Shrimp in Garlic image

Steps:

  • Place the cazuela over a medium flame. Add the olive oil. When hot (steam comes off the surface, do not burn the oil, you will know because it will smell rancid) add the garlic. Sizzle until golden in color, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chiles and leave for 1 minute.
  • Turn off the heat just as the garlic starts to turn brown. (If the garlic turns brown you have over cooked it and will need to start again.)
  • Add the shelled shrimps and leave for 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt.
  • Serve with some fresh bread.

1 cup olive oil
1 large clove garlic, peeled and sliced
1 large dry red hot chile pepper, chopped and sliced thinly with seeds
2 pounds fresh white shrimp, shelled
Pinch salt

  • Piquillo Peppers Stuffed with Tuna. Step aside, padrón peppers! When it comes to pintxos, it’s all about the piquillos. These little red peppers pack some serious flavor.

  • Classic Spanish Tortilla Pintxo. The good news about pintxos is that many typical tapas recipes can easily be turned into them—just add a skewer and some bread!
  • Anchovy Pintxo. Forget everything you thought you knew about anchovies. In the Basque Country, these little fish are done right: caught fresh from the Cantabrian Sea and cured to perfection in salt or vinegar.
  • Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Pintxo. Goat cheese and caramelized onion is one of those made-in-heaven flavor combos. The sweetness of the onion is the perfect complement to the tanginess of the goat cheese, and a great choice for vegetarians.

  • Roasted Asparagus with Ham. Bright green asparagus takes an even more delicious turn in this guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Wrap each stalk in top-quality cured Spanish ham, sprinkle with Manchego cheese, and pop it in the oven for a few minutes to roast—pintxos recipes don’t get any easier than this!
