Ingredients

  • 12 shrimp peeled and de-veined
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • freshly grounded pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 dried chili peppers or red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon white wine optional but highly recommended

garnish

  • 1 raw garlic grated
  • chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Add peeled and de-veined shrimp in a bowl with ½ teaspoon salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well.
  • Mince 5 cloves of garlic. Finely chop parsley and set aside.
  • Add ½ cup olive oil and minced garlic to a cold pan. Then, turn the heat to low medium. This ensures that the garlic cooks gently in the oil and doesn’t burn too quickly.
  • Once the garlic is slowly starting to sizzle (they should look pale and not golden yet), add cut up dried chili peppers.
  • Add all the shrimp in the oil to prevent the garlic from burning. Add 1 tablespoon white wine in the pan.
  • Once the shrimp starts turning orange on one side, flip all of them over and turn off the heat. The residual heat will cook your shrimp to perfection and you won’t have rubber texture shrimp.
  • Add your chopped parsley and grate 1 raw garlic clove. Mix everything together and serve with freshly toasted bread.

Notes

EXPERT TIPS
  • Use high quality olive oil for this dish. Since there's not too many spices that is added to this dish, it's important that we use high quality ingredients for the flavors to stand out!
  • Use medium low heat so the garlic doesn't burn too quickly. Make sure to constantly stir to also prevent the burning. Once the garlic is burnt, the dish will taste bitter and you will need to start again.
  • Cook the shrimp in less than 1 minute. When the shrimp has been cooked for too long, the texture is rubbery instead of crisp and tender.
