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.

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.

Shrimp and Chorizo in Garlic Sauce image

Steps:

  • In a medium straight-sided pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat and saute the chorizo and onions, breaking the chorizo up with a wooden spoon while cooking until it resembles ground beef. Add the adobo, paprika and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the fat is rendered and the onions are tender and cooked into the chorizo, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the remaining oil and the garlic and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the flavors infuse over the low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp to the garlic oil, raise the heat slightly, and stir and turn to cook the shrimp evenly, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve as an appetizer on toothpicks with crusty, chewy bread.

1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound spicy Mexican chorizo, casing removed
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet or Vidalia onion
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
1 head garlic, peeled and finely chopped
Salt
1 1/2 pounds peeled deveined shrimp (16/20 count)
Crusty, chewy bread, for sopping

MEXICAN SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE

Just enough for 2, although easily doubled for 4. This dish is REALLY hot if you leave the seeds in the peppers...I LOVE IT!!! But if you feel shy, you don't have to have the jalapenos, I won't tell. Makes a good party appetizer too. Just dare some of your buddies to eat it when it's hot. :)

SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE image

Steps:

  • Preparation Peel Shrimp. Leave the very end of the tail on. Cut along the back of the shrimp tail 1/8-inch and remove vein. Clean and set aside in cold water. Mince garlic, parsley. Heat olive oil in a small saucepan. Pour enough olive oil so that it is about 1/4 inch deep in the pan. Add one tooth of garlic. Use moderate heat to raise the temperature slowly. When the garlic tooth begins to sizzle, lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic, parsley, saffron and shrimp. Break the dried pepper in half and toss it in the pan. Salt and pepper to taste. Use a spoon to gently to stir the ingredients, turning the shrimp over to cook evenly. The heat should be high enough for the ingredients to sizzle, but so high that the oil smokes and burns the ingredients. Add the dry sherry towards the end when the shrimp have changed color and are just about ready. Cooking time should be about 5 minutes. Transfer ingredients to a deep plate and serve immediately. CHEF'S NOTE: This is traditional cooked in a heat resilient ceramic bowl and is served sizzling. To reproduce this sizzling presentation you can preheat the ceramic bowl in the oven and transfer ingredients to it when ready. Be sure to have ready a wide brim serving plate on which to place and carry the hot ceramic bowl. An oven pad placed between the bowl and the serving plate is advised.

8 shrimp, (16-20 count)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 large head garlic, minced
1 pinch saffron
1 dried pepper (chile arbol)
extra virgin olive oil
1 ounce dry sherry
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, saute the garlic in medium-hot oil (about 300 degrees F) until light brown. Watch carefully so as not to burn. After about 6 to 8 minutes, quickly whisk in the butter and remove immediately from the fire. When all the butter has been added, the bits will become crisp.
  • Remove them with a slotted spoon and reserve the oil and butter for saut?ing the shrimp.
  • In a large skillet, heat about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil and then saut? the shrimp for about 5 minutes. Turn over very briefly and then remove. Add more oil as necessary to saute all the shrimp. Salt to taste. Garnish with garlic bits and parsley. Serve with Mexican Rice.
  • Try brushing garlic oil over French bread, then sprinkling it with parsley and toasting it.
  • Serve this with the shrimp and accompany the dish with a lettuce and tomato salad.

12 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 lbs fresh shrimp, peeled, de-veined
