Introduction
A classic Spanish appetizer where plump, juicy shrimp are poached in aromatic, high-temperature olive oil. Rich in garlic flavor and savory goodness, it's best enjoyed with crusty French bread dipped in the fragrant garlic oil—you won't want to waste a single drop.
Step 1
Pour a generous amount of olive oil into a cast-iron skillet, add garlic slices and dried chili, and sauté over low heat until fragrant. Add the peeled, deveined, and seasoned raw shrimp.
Step 2
Use chopsticks to flip the shrimp and stir-fry quickly, ensuring they are evenly cooked in the hot garlic oil until both sides turn red.
Step 3
Sprinkle in paprika and black pepper to season, giving the sauce an appealing orange-red hue and deep flavor profile.
Step 4
Finally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, give it a quick stir, and remove from heat.
Step 5
Place the succulent shrimp onto slices of French bread and drizzle with the flavorful garlic oil from the pan before serving.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Garlic burns and turns bitter very easily; control the heat and avoid using excessively high flames during the sautéing process. ⚠️
Shrimp must be thoroughly dried with paper towels before hitting the pan to prevent oil splattering. 💡
This dish is best served with crusty-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside French baguette to soak up the flavorful garlic oil. 🍴
