 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

Gambas al Ajillo 


In just 10 minutes, you can make this easy gambas al ajillo recipe with extra juicy shrimp swimming in a garlicy olive oil sauce. Just add your favorite crusty bread to dunk in the sauce!


Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • Kosher salt
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 10 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (start with less if you don't want it too spicy)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry or dry white wine
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with kosher salt. Set aside for now.
  2. Heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat up to 60 seconds or until the garlic gains some color (be careful not to burn it).
  3. Add the shrimp and paprika. Cook briefly, tossing regularly, and watching that the flesh turns opaque with a pearly pink color (about 3 minutes or so; this will depend on the size of the shrimp). Remove the pan from the heat.
  4. Stir in sherry, lemon juice and parsley.
  5. Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving bowl. Serve with your favorite crusty bread.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
