Gambas al Pil Pil or Gambas Ajillo in Spain is a great way to easily serve up shrimp. Each spicy garlic shrimp is loaded with Spanish flavor and the entire dish is done in under 20 minutes. Salut!
Method
Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic.
Cut off the stem of 1 Spanish pepper (or chili), cut it in half and deseed it with a spoon, then cut it into thin slices.
Properly season 15 raw jumbo shrimp or prawns (peeled and deveined) with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Heat a small non-stick frying pan with a medium-high heat and add a 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is hot add the sliced garlic and sliced peppers, mix with the oil and after about 1 minute add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika and mix everything together. Make sure you don't burn the garlic.
Add the shrimp in a single layer.
After cooking the shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes flip them and cook for another 1 1/2 minutes.
Add the white wine and cook for 30 seconds. Add the butter and stir until melted and sauce is creamy.
Transfer everything in the pan to a shallow bowl and sprinkle with some freshly chopped parsley.
