Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 extra-virgin olive oil
3 or 4 large cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons spicy paprika
16 large shrimp, peeled
Coarse salt
Cayenne pepper, to taste
1/4 cup minced parsley leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or sherry vinegar, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the oil and garlic in a skillet no larger than 10 inches across. Turn the heat to medium, and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle, then turn the heat to medium-low. When the garlic is blond, stir in cumin and paprika. Add the shrimp, and raise the heat to high.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally and sprinkling with salt and cayenne, until the shrimp are all pink, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and add most of the parsley and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve garnished with the remaining parsley.
