Shrimp Pil-Pil
(from Lexi’s Kitchen, ripped from the internet)
NOTE: Be sure to tail, peel and devein the shrimp before attempting this recipe!
Shrimp Pil-Pil is a classic tapa found all around Spain. It was our favorite tapa we had on our trip. I knew this would be easy to make at home. It takes about 10 minutes from start to finish and is it ever tasty.
Shrimp is quickly cooked in a spicy, garlic flavored olive oil. Serve with crusty French bread so you can sop up the garlic-chili oil. Ohhh my… I love this.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp. peeled and deveined
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2-3 hot chili peppers roughly chopped (I used 2 Thai chilies)
- 1 tsp. sweet smoked paprika
- Salt
- 2 TBSP. chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 loaf crusty bread, sliced
Preparation
In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chopped chili, and paprika and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Season the shrimp with salt, add to the skillet and cook 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and transfer to a heat proof serving bowl. Top with chopped parsley and serve with sliced bread for dipping.
