Description

This is a great appetizer from Spain where it is called Gambas Al Ajillo. Nearly all the bars in Spain serve food and this is one of the most popular of the tapas, along with the Spanish omelette (frittata) called ‘tortilla.’

Ingredients

  • ¾ pounds Shelled, Deveined Small To Medium Shrimp
  • Kosher Or Sea Salt
  • 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons Good, Medium-dry Sherry Or White Whine

Preparation

Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and let sit for 10 minutes.

In an earthenware casserole (I use a cazuela I bought in Spain) or other shallow casserole, heat the oil with the garlic and parsley until the garlic begins to sizzle.

Add the shrimp and stir until opaque.

Add the sherry and salt to taste, and cook over medium heat for a minute or two until the sherry evaporates and the sauce thickens slightly.

Serve immediately in the casserole accompanied by a crusty loaf of bread to soak up the sauce.

Thank you for this recipe. I made it tonight because I had all the ingredients on hand- frozen shrimp, olive oil, sherry, {dried parsley} and garlic. Couldn’t be any easier but so delicious that I would make it for guests…with fresh parsley and shrimp!
