Garlic Shrimp "Gambas al Ajillo" topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 900 g peeled fresh white shrimp
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 large clove of garlic, peeled and sliced
- 1 large dried hot chili pepper, thinly sliced with seeds
- A pinch of salt
Preparation:
- Place the cazuela over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil. When it's hot (steam will begin to rise from the surface, but be careful not to overheat the oil or it will go rancid), add the garlic. Sauté until golden, about 1-2 minutes. Add the chili and let it sit for a minute.
- Turn off the heat as soon as the garlic begins to brown. (If the garlic turns brown, you've overcooked it and will have to start over.)
Add peeled shrimp and let sit for 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt. Serve with fresh bread.
