Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. My favorite pan to use for this recipe is a small-size cast-iron pan; however, you can use any pan, big or small.
- 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 4. Place the shrimp in a small bowl, and toss with the salt, and paprika. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
- 5. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to cover the bottom of your pan, and add the garlic.
- 6. Adjust the heat to medium-low, and allow the garlic to baste in the warming olive oil.
- 7. After 2 - 3 minutes toss in the red-pepper flakes, and stir to combine.
- 8. When the garlic begins to sizzle (about 10 minutes), add the shrimp in a single layer.
- 9. When they begin to turn pink (about 2 - 3 minutes), flip and cook for an additional minute.
- 10. Chef's Note: If you are using the sherry, add it as soon as you flip the shrimp over.
- 11. Remove the pan from the heat, and allow the shrimp to finish cooking in the warm oil, another minute or so.
- 12. PLATE/PRESENT
- 13. Serve while still nice and warm, with some crusty bread, for dipping into the wonderful garlic-infused olive oil. Enjoy.
- 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
